Natural Land Bridges in Aruba

A photo essay depicting the gorgeous natural land bridges of Aruba. Although many people visit Aruba for its pristine beaches and all-inclusive resorts, Aruba vacations can be be both relaxing and filled with exciting adventures to beautiful sites of natural history. Aruba tourism offers beautiful beaches and neat activities, like the aloe vera factory I visited when there. The weather in Aruba provides year-round sun and warmth. The island’s natural beauty gives travelers scenic vistas for to enjoy their Aruba vacations. Although I didn’t know what to expect when I visited, as you can see from the following picture essay I found Aruba’s natural land bridges especially interesting. If you travel to Aruba, I highly recommend a trip to this side of the island to experience them.

Oranjestad, Aruba

The natural land bridges in Oranjestad are a major draw

The area is located between the Bushiribana gold mine ruins and Andicuri Beach

The pounding surf shows how the bridges were created

Constant waves eroded the coral limestone

The bigger bridge collapsed in September 2005

This natural wonder soared 25 ft. high and was 100 ft. long

Majestic waves still hit the collapsed bridge

Although the big bridge has collapsed, the “Baby Bridge” still exists.

Edge of “Baby Bridge”

The land bridge area is a pleasant place to commune with nature and experience a different side of Aruba
