Aruba is a small Caribbean island located just off the coast of Venezuela. The island has a rich history, having been inhabited by indigenous tribes before being colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century. Today, Aruba is an autonomous territory of the Netherlands, and its culture is a unique blend of Dutch, Caribbean, and Latin American influences. Aruba is known for its beautiful beaches and also boasts a variety of outdoor activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, and horseback riding. The island is also home to a number of historic landmarks and cultural attractions, including the California Lighthouse, the Arikok National Park, and the vibrant capital city of Oranjestad.
