The climate of Aruba is tropical with a fairly constant average temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and rainfall averaging 18-24 inches per annum, most of which falls between the months of October to January. The island lies outside the hurricane belt and so avoids the effects of tropical storms. The terrain is flat with few hills and sparse vegetation and the highest point lies 188 meters above sea level. Air communications are excellent with over 200 flights a week and daily flights to major cities in Europe, the United States and Latin America.

    Extractions: Oranjestad San Nicolas The Caribbean island nation of Aruba is a small jewel in the aquamarine sea that surrounds the islands of the Caribbean. It is 30km (19.6 miles) long and 9km (6 miles) across at its widest point. The waves off the windward east coast crash against cliffs, carving high, arched coral bridges and deep dark, limestone grottoes. This coast is desolate, windswept with rocks carved into weird shapes by the pounding surf. In contrast on the western shores the beaches are soft, white and fringed with palm trees, sloping towards the calm transparent turquoise of the Caribbean. Between these two extremes is a desert landscape where cacti grow to the height of a man and huge tumbles of boulders dot the area. Winding roads lead to rocky passes and hidden coves, or even to nowhere at all. Giant green parakeets call to their mates and other tropical birds flash their brilliant colors against the deep blue of the Caribbean sky. Perpetual trade winds have made Aruba the world's leading area for windsurfing. These winds also created the famous divi-divi trees, which have been wind twisted into natural art that always point west.

    Extractions: GEOGRAPHY: Aruba is the smallest island in the Leeward group of the Dutch Caribbean islands, which also include Bonaire and Curaçao. They are popularly known as the ABCs. As the westernmost island of the group, Aruba is the final link in the long Antillean chain, lying 20km (12.5 miles) off the Venezuelan coast. The island is 30km (19.6 miles) long and 9km (6 miles) across at its widest and has a flat landscape dominated by Jamanota Mountain (188m/617ft). The west and southwest coast, known as Palm Beach, boasts 11km (7 miles) of palm-fringed powder-white sands, while in complete contrast the east coast has a desolate, windswept shoreline of jagged rocks carved into weird shapes by the pounding surf.
