Aruba
Aruba is the smallest, driest and windiest of the three Leeward Islands of the Dutch Caribbean. Despite this, it has a surprisingly varied landscape. The island’s connection, via the continental shelf, to the South American mainland means that Aruba’s flora and fauna are quite different from her sister islands — Bonaire and Curaçao.

**CONCHI CLOSED!**
Yesterday a boat capsized in the Arikok Marine Protected Area and hit the coast, emptying two barrels of gasoline and lots of debris into the Natural Pool (Conchi). Our team is busy assessing the damage and cleaning the area. It will take numerous days before the area is safe again for recreation. The restoration of this protected area will take months, if not years.
Thank you for your understanding and support.🙏🏼

Better keep it closed for some time to give nature a chance to recuperate.
Aruba eigen schuld, laat iedereen binnen komen .
