Alto Vista Chapel

The name alto vista means high view. And when you stand in front of the chapel the back drop of the waves crashing against huge rocks is amazing!

Locals use the chapel as a place to pray. When inside you feel the peace and serene. No talking, barely a sound. Just peace and quiet in your own thoughts.

When you want peace and quiet come here.

The Alto Vista Chapel is more than 250 years old. And considered to be the birthplace of Aruba’s Catholic religion.

Alto Vista Chapel Has A Peace Labyrinth

Besides a gorgeous chapel there is also an amazing peace labyrinth to be explored.

It has an unique and interesting design. Maybe the the shape of the labyrinth contains the secret to peace. I know one thing for sure, this place is beautiful. Another reason why I’m proud to live here.

We’re all looking for peace in Aruba.

Plan a day to visit the alto vista chapel during your vacation – you won’t regret it.

Aruba Streetcar System is The Only One in The Caribbean

The Aruba streetcar system is unlike no other. You can’t even compare it to anything else, because it’s the only one in the Caribbean region.

The electric tram in the downtown area was introduced to make Aruba’s shopping scene more attractive to tourist and locals. 

The Aruba streetcar system is a success and it is causing a hype. Every one wants to ride the colorful trams once they see it. 

There are a couple of trams in operation right now. A mix of a double deck trams and single deck. 

If you want the best view during your ride hop on the double deck tram.

The Ease of Exploring The Downtown Area of Aruba

Before the trams you had to walk through the streets. Now you can reach you favorite store quick and easy.

The tram ride starts at the cruise port. Looping at the end of the main street back to the cruise port. And of course stopping at various places during the trip.

The best thing about it is – it’s free!

Explore The Renovated Main Street of Aruba

The main street of Aruba was in need of a renovation. Now it looks beautiful. And there is no better time or way to explore the Aruba’s Capital city Oranjestad.

There is a lot to do in the downtown area. Whether your looking for a boutique or a place to eat and drink. You will find it.

So why must you visit Aruba as soon as possible? 

Visit Aruba Because You’re Going To Be Happy You Did

Aruba is not just another island. It is the number 1 tropical destination in the Caribbean! This a big statement to live up to, but Aruba really is that good.

Why do so many people decide to revisit Aruba year after year despite having so many other places to travel to in the world.

I think it’s us. The locals. Tourist fall in love for our friendly Aruba ways and lifestyle.

The beautiful beaches and all year sunny weather is just an extra for being in Aruba.

For example look at the image below. It’s a picture of Eagle Beach. One of the popular beaches in Aruba (and in the world).

Which color beach palapa is your?

The reason why?

Because of the crystal clear waters. Long strip of white sand. And most importantly the dushi bida (sweet life in Papiamento) island vibe you get when on this beach.

You Can Eat Anything You Want

I don’t eat out a lot (because I like to cook). However, whenever I do I have a problem picking a place to eat.

Because there is so much to choose from.

With over 200+ restaurants to choose from where do you begin? Depending on your budget, you might choose the cheapest to the most expensive restaurant.

However, it doesn’t matter where you pick to eat out, because your taste buds will never feel the same after you eat a local cuisine or a international dish.
