3. Arikok National Wildlife Park

NORTHEAST COAST.   This wildlife park encompasses roughly 20% of the entire island. At the entrance to the park are restrooms and food facilities. Many tour companies offer excursions through these wilds but, thanks to well-maintained walking paths, exploring on your own is also an option. Within the park you will see the ruins of a gold mining operation, ancient Arawak drawings, and some remnants of an old colonial Dutch settlement. Mount Yamanota, Aruba's highest peak, is also in the park. As you walk the trails expect to see divi-divi and kwihi trees, cacti, indigenous aloe, and many tropical birds and lizards.   (© 10Best)
