Exploring Aruba’s Caves

Aruba land activities wouldn’t be complete without exploring at least one of the island several sets of fascinating caves. Three of the best to visit are all located in Arikok National Park. Perhaps the best-know is Guadirikiri Cave with its two chambers that extend for around 100 feet and have several holes in the ceiling that allow sunshine to stream down into the caves, making for a truly magical effect. Then there’s Fontein Cave, which is known not only for its colorful stalactites and stalagmites, but also for cave drawings made by Arawak natives at least 1,000 years ago! Finally, there’s also Huliba Cave, typically called the “Tunnel of Love” thanks to its heart-shaped entrance. This one goes back a good 300 feet which means it gets really dark, so you’ll want to have a flashlight to really check it out. All of these caves are home to several species of bats, but they’re all harmless and will stay put if you don’t bother them.
 

Horseback Riding
