Welcome to Aruba!
¡Bienvenidos a Aruba!
A small island in the southern Caribbean just fifteen miles off the coast of Venezuela, Aruba is
19.6 miles long and six miles across at its widest point. Have you ever heard of a one happy
island? Yes, many people know Aruba as the happy island in the Caribbean. One of the reasons
of that name…Aruba’s unique white sandy beaches and the calm waters of the south and west
coasts…an interior of desert landscape detailed by interesting rock formations and a few (little)
mountains. The average annual temperature is about 82 degrees Fahrenheit, but constant
cooling Tradewinds make even the hottest days comfortable. Aruba lies on the outer fringe of
the hurricane belt, but during the season of hurricanes (June through November), there may be
here and there a few wet of very windy days.
Una isla pequeña en el sur del Caribe solo quince millas de la costa de Venezuela, Aruba tiene
19.6 millas de largo y seis millas de ancho en su punto más ancho. ¿Has oído hablar alguna vez
de una isla feliz? Sí, mucha gente conoce Aruba como la isla feliz en el Caribe. Una de las
razones de ese nombre ... Las playas de arena blanca únicas de Aruba y las tranquilas aguas de
las costas sur y oeste ... un interior de paisaje desértico detallado por interesantes formaciones
rocosas y algunas (pequeñas) montañas. La temperatura promedio anual es de
aproximadamente 82 grados Fahrenheit, pero los constantes vientos alisios de enfriamiento
hacen que incluso los días más calurosos sean cómodos. Aruba se encuentra en la periferia del
cinturón de huracanes, pero durante la temporada de huracanes (de junio a noviembre), puede
haber aquí y allá algunos días lluviosos.
