Caves
http://www.aruba.com/whattodo/caves.php
The Guadirikiri (Quadiriki) Cave is famous for its two chambers, illuminated by the sunlight streaming through holes in the roof of the cave. In the darker portions of the cave nest hundreds of harmless bats.
The Fontein Cave is the most popular of the caves as it is the only one that has the drawings of Arawak Indians on the ceilings, providing a real sense of island history to this cave.
