There is no need to buy bottled water in Aruba. Aruba’s tap water is pure and refreshing, meeting the highest standards of quality of the World Health Organization. Since Aruba does not have any significant natural sources of fresh water, the water is distilled in a saltwater desalination plant.

Aruba, a stunning Caribbean island, is famous for its white-sand beaches, clear waters, and unique desert landscapes. Arikok National Park, covering nearly 20% of the island, showcases diverse ecosystems, including rugged coastlines, caves, and cactus-strewn hills.

Aruba’s national bird is the Prikichi, or Aruban Parakeet (Aratinga pertinax arubensis). This vibrant green parakeet with a yellow-tinted head and blue wing feathers is often seen in small, noisy flocks. The Prikichi is a symbol of the island’s biodiversity and cultural heritage, with ongoing conservation efforts to protect its habitat.
