Traveler advice

Don't miss

Bring walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat!

Don’t forget your hiking boots or comfortable shoes for exploring the lovely trails around Cunuc’i Cristi. The Aruban sun can be quite strong here, so be sure to pack your sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen! If you prefer water shoes for the sea instead of going barefoot, feel free to bring those along too! Enjoy your adventure and stay comfortably prepared.
