Everyone knows Aruba’s idyllic white-sand beaches, but the “Happy Island” holds fascinating treasures beneath its surface: its impressive caves. Are you ready to discover a different side of this Caribbean paradise? Get ready for an unforgettable adventure, and at the end of the day, relax in the comfort and privacy of your own Chill Out Vacation Homes vacation rental.
An Underground Journey Through Aruba’s Jewels
Aruba’s caves are astonishing geological formations that tell the island’s natural history. Exploring them is a unique experience that perfectly complements your sunny beach days.
1. Guadirikiri Cave
Famous for its two main chambers illuminated by sunbeams filtering through holes in the ceiling, Guadirikiri Cave is a natural spectacle of light and shadow. It’s a magical place where the constant breeze inside and the presence of harmless bats create a mysterious and fascinating atmosphere. It’s easy to explore, suitable for most visitors, and will leave you marveling at the beauty of the rock formations.
2. Fontein Cave
Located near Guadirikiri Cave, Fontein Cave is the only one in Aruba that features original Arawak Indian rock paintings. These intricate red paintings reveal stories and symbols of the island’s ancient inhabitants, offering a fascinating window into Aruba’s past. Though smaller, its historical and cultural value makes it a must-stop for history enthusiasts.
3. Huliba Cave (The Tunnel of Love)
Popularly known as the “Tunnel of Love,” Huliba Cave gets its name from its heart-shaped entrance. While its access can be a bit more adventurous (requiring bending down to enter), the interior rewards with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. It’s an ideal spot for adventure lovers seeking a more intimate and exciting experience.
