Aruba - History

Aruba's path to the present day is marked by the mystery of ochre-colored rock drawings left behind by island shamans, the enterprising spirit of European adventurers and settlers and the diverse experiences and traditions brought by the many nationalities that have since sought out the island as either a new home or temporary resting place. The look of the people, the languages they speak and the innate hospitality that manifests itself in the Aruban psyche is the result of a multi-cultural mix that reflects a rich past.

And Deepak and Satish were cleared of any wrong doing years ago...so putz head...your so ill-informed and stupid that I'm shocked you can even spell.......Aruba has one big murder case and you want to condemn an island you have NEVER been to and know NOTHING about.....Bet the state you live in has 5-10 murders a week......clean up your own backyard before you throw stones

Aruba up until today is the happy island in the Caribbean with the highest return rate. In 2009 we had beaten our own tourism RECORD!, and that has been so since 1954. Slendering Aruba this is a prime time advertisement that goes world wide and that is something that we cannot finance, so in a way thank you. If americans press didn't slender Aruba so much maybe today we wouldn't be so known. Even in China and far back in Russia the name Aruba is known, thanks to the american press
