Arikok National Park, improvements

Aruba’s Arikok National Park occupies approximately one third of the island’s land mass. Recently, the road through the park has been upgraded. Portions of it have been paved with asphalt. The entrance at San Fuego, shown below, features paving blocks.

Just take plenty of water, a good hat, and your walking stick. The fellow at the booth mentioned that the roads would be completed in “about a month,” which would mean around the first of April 2009.

Enjoy nature responsibly and bon dia from Aruba.
