Ancient Stones

Aruba’s Ayo Rock Formations offer a glimpse into the island’s ancient past. Massive boulders rise from the arid landscape, surrounded by winding stone paths, native plants, and the distinctive divi-divi trees shaped by the trade winds. Long before Aruba became a destination for travelers, the area held significance for the island’s Indigenous Caquetío people, who left behind petroglyphs among these rocks. Today, Ayo is a place to slow down, explore, and connect with the natural history and cultural roots of Aruba.
