Is desert side memorable

[elou]

Been to Aruba on walking tour. Since I don't enjoy the beach, wondering if seeing the desert side is worthwhile or just stay in town? Comments please.

To see if it might be somthing that catches your eye, I have photos of that side of the island here and here

 

http://www.sensitivehikers.com/ Eddy Croes offers guided hikes. A former ranger at Arikok National Park he is most familiar with that side of the island.

The pictures are great. Since I tour by myself, feel more secure with Princess tours. Downtown is very pretty. Done walking tour. Not into beaches, so that leaves Princess tour of the other side. One with aloe facory, the other with Ostrich farm, or just walk around town. I do like to explore places though. Thanks again for replying to me.

Just a thought...

Truthfully, don't know the cost of the Princess tour, but you can rent a compact car for the day and head over to the other side on your own and stop and walk around at your own pace.

There is a dirt road you can follow down around the tip of the island where the California lighthouse is located. From there you can see the "baby" natural bridge, Bushiribana Gold Smelting ruins, Alto Vista chapel (up on the hill) as well as the collapsed natural bridge.
