Tips from locals
Beautiful to visit and accessible with any car and only a 10min drive. Back in the day this place was used as a Gold Mill.
The Aruba Island Gold Mining Company built the Bushiribana smelter in 1825 to extract gold from the ore that was being mined in the nearby hills of Ceru Plat; it operated for ten years. Today, its remains are a stopping-off point for tourists on their way to view the Aruba Natural Bridge, which collapsed on September 2, 2005
Remnants of Aruba's gold history, including gold mines and gold mills. A must visit!
The gold mine is cool to take pictures at and you can get there easy with a car.
