Ayo Rock Formations is located to the northeast of Hooiberg and just a couple of minutes away from Aruba's Donkey Sanctuary and Casibari – another popular but more crowded spot to explore the island's unique collection of massive diorite boulders. What makes Ayo a unique location is the tranquility of its surroundings, that create a sense of awe and an understanding of why the area was once considered a sacred site by the island's original inhabitants. This natural preserve features some of the oldest Indian drawings and modern pathways have been constructed in order to help visitors better explore this ancient site, while strolling through towering rocks and Aruba's unique variety of flora and fauna.
