Aruba Realty's Review
This beautiful little chapel sits all alone near to the islands northwest corner, inside you will hear the wind as it whistles through the mustard colored walls, unusual boulders and towering cacti. The Chapel of Alto Vista means highest view and it is one of Aruba's most cherished landmarks, the road leading to the chapel is lined with little crosses, each one marking the stations of the cross with verses from the bible. The locals view this as a very special place and often visit the chapel to enjoy the peace and to light a candle in the chapel.

The aloe vera plant was first introduced to Aruba in 1840 and the first plants were planted on 150 acres of land at Hato Plantation. The Hato Plantation is the location of the museum and factory that produces Aruba Aloe products today. The Caribbean sun and the desert environment of Aruba help to increase the plants natural healing qualities and helps to produce the worlds most powerful aloe gel to heal and revitalize skin. When you visit the factory and museum you will learn all about the making of the products from seed to production line, and you will also be able to learn about the fascinating history of the plant on the island.

Aruba Realty's Review
The presence of these unusual rock formations are truly a mystery as they do not match any part of the islands geological formations. The extraordinary boulders that rise up from the desert soil to create an unusual setting have walking trails and steps through the boulders so that visitors can explore in closer detail. Visitors can climb to the top of the rocks to get a wonderful view of the countryside, don't be surprised if you encounter a few Aruba whiptail lizards on the way up!
