Beautiful island off the coast of Venezuela, Aruba is a vacationer's paradise: perfect weather, amazing landscape, and lots of sun. Tourism is the main driving economic force, but there are many undeveloped - and wildly beautiful - areas on the island. Visitors from neighboring Latin American countries and sun-lovers from North America and Holland are a common sight.
