Arikok covers around 18% of Aruba and protects cactus-filled hills, limestone coast and caves with Arawak rock drawings. The Conchi, or Natural Pool, is a rock-enclosed swimming hole reached by 4x4, horseback or on foot.

Paved roads and rough tracks both run through the park; a 4x4 or guided jeep tour is best for the Natural Pool.

Tips

  • Pay the park entrance fee at the visitor centre
  • Bring lots of water and sun protection
  • Visit Quadirikiri and Fontein caves
