Family Overview: Aruba
Aruba is part of the Dutch “ABC” islands, along with Bonaire and Curaçao, off the coast of Venezuela. Aruba spreads out in a dry desert landscape of red dirt, cactus, and volcanic rock, interspersed with divi-divi trees, their branches bent from the 10- to 25-knot breezes. With less than 24 inches of rain a year, mostly in November and December, Aruba virtually guarantees sunny weather for your vacation, tempered by the constant trade winds that keep temperatures at a comfortable average of 82 degrees year-round.Read More
