Discover the other natural bridges of Aruba

Aruba has it origin in volcanic activity some 90 to 95 million years ago.

Magma flowed out to the surface from cracks in the earth’s crust and created three main rock groups to be found on Aruba.

The Igneous rocks, formed from cooling and solidification of magma; the Metamorphic Rock, formed from a previous existing rock and transformed due to high temperatures and pressure; and the sedimentary rock, formed as the result deposition of material derived from other rocks.

The crust of the earth is broken up in different plates, which move with respect to each other, called plate tectonics.

The youngest rocks on Aruba are limestone, which surround the old core of the island. The rainwater sank through the ground, dissolved the limestone in the limestone plateau, giving way to the formation of sharp peaks on the plateau. The waves and wind however, are giving the bridge its beautiful carved bow.

Aruba’s popular natural bridge, formed after centuries of pounding waves and rain collapsed and fell into the Caribbean Sea on Sept. 2.

This rock bridge of100 feet long and 25 feet high, was formed from coral limestone on Aruba's windy, rugged northern coast turned in one of Aruba's most treasured and photographed tourist attraction in the Caribbean.

Visitors to Aruba can still appreciate the other unique natural landmarks Aruba possesses, like the baby bridge at the original natural bridge site and the natural bridge at Warirui Beach, a bit north of Bushiribana Gold mine ruins.

Other landmark highlights are the uniquely carved by mother-nature into threesome unified bows are the bridges at Black Stone Beach, further south of Andicuri Beach and at Seroe Colorado a bit east of Baby Beach.
