glitzy gambling casinos. There is something for everyone in the family

What to Expect
Lizards dash among the cacti while dozens of species of colorful birds
live fulltime on Aruba and hundreds more visit on their bi-annual
migrations between North and South America. Interesting wildlife is
just one of the Aruba vacations features of this island, which is a
mere 75 square miles, about 19 miles long and five miles wide at its
widest point. The center of the island of Aruba is primarily desert
habitat. One side of the island features rugged surf and craggy
ridges. The other side is miles and miles of smooth, sandy beaches
inviting you to enjoy a fun-filled tropical family vacation.
A Fascinating Culture
 Aruba introduces vacationers to a fascinating culture that has been
developing and evolving for more than 2,000 years. Arawak people
claimed the island of Aruba and established a permanent civilization.
In 1499, Europeans began visiting the island, adding their influence.
Aruba was on the slave trade routes; African customs and traditions
were added to the cultural mix. Eventually the island became a Dutch
colony and continues to reflect that influence today. This cultural
mix has resulted in a language that is a mix of Spanish, Portuguese,
Dutch, French and English. The music is primarily calypso and reggae.
The people, the scenery, the food and the fun all combine to make
Aruba a fascinating family vacation destination.
Aruba vacations are now more affordable than ever. Aruba’s beaches are
lined with lavish resorts and hotels with luxury accommodations. These
resorts and hotels are offering great vacation packages and all
inclusive Aruba travel packages through discount Internet travel
agents and discount travel websites.
Aruba is a golden opportunity to enjoy a family vacation in a very
unique and interesting setting.
