Experience three of Aruba’s top attractions. The tour begins as we drive to the interesting ecological venue, the Butterfly Farm. Here we will have an unforgettable encounter with nature in all its beauty and diversity. We should keep our eyes peeled for butterflies from around the world, hiding in the vegetation of the tropical garden. We will learn about butterfly habits and the miracle of metamorphosis.We move on to the Aruba Aloe Balm Facility, for a guided tour of the production process – from the fields where the leaves are cut, to the end result of lotions and creams. Travelling towards our next destination, we shall pass countless divi divi trees and cacti in this desert-like landscape. Arriving at the second largest Natural Bridge on Aruba, we can admire this wonder, which has been carved from solid coral by the relentless pounding of the ocean’s surf. En route back to Oranjestad, capital of Aruba, we pass the Gold Mill Ruins at Boca Mahos.There is walking involved at the Butterfly Farm (in the region of 50 metres/165 feet); 100 metres (300 feet) or so at the Aloe Balm Facility, including at least 10 steps; and 5 minutes at the Natural Bridge, over rough ground. The itinerary may operate in a different order than that described.
