Ayo Rock Formations
It is a mysterious formation of rocks at Ayo and Casibari, lies at the northwest of Hooiberg. The presence of this rock formation that looks like boulders are still unexplained by the Geologists as the rock does not match the geological pattern of Aruba. However, when you visit the top of these boulders, a magnificent view of the countryside will please you. It is surrounded by the tranquil ambiance, untouched by the heavy crowd. Often you can find Cobalt Blue or Blue-grey lizards wandering around.
There are plenty of other attractions in Aruba including Mt. Hooiberg, Eagle Beach, Renaissance Mall, National Archaeological Museum of Aruba, Aloe Factory and Museum, Confessions (hottest club on the island), and Bugaloe (watch sunset and relax in the tropical bar).
