Historic Gold Mines
In the 1400's and 1500's, adventurers traveled throughout the Caribbean in search of wealth and treasures. These ruins are an integral part in the development of Aruba. On the northern coast, midway down the island, are the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, which once processed ore during the nineteenth century. The Balashi Gold Mill was built at the tip of the Spanish Lagoon, and remnants of this once bustling mill are still visible in the picturesque setting near the narrow canyon of rocks known as Frenchman’s Pass.

Natural Bridge
The most famous of Aruba’s natural bridges loomed 25 feet above sea level, and was an awesome spectacle that existed for thousands of years. Early in September 2005 the bridge collapsed in just one evening, caused by the same wave action that originally carved out the limestone structure. Other natural bridges can still be viewed along the coast.
