We start at the quaint Chapel of Alto Vista, the spiritual heart of Aruba in the quiet countryside. The chapel was rebuilt in 1952 on the site of the original, and first, Catholic church was built in Aruba in 1750 by a Spanish missionary, Domingo Antonio Silvestre. The bright yellow chapel is reached by a winding road lined with white crosses marking the stations of the cross. It is a special place for peace and contemplation, surrounded by the Aruban countryside

1. As light is breaking and the birds are awakening, we walk/hike down the ocean from Alto Vista Chapel & take a seat in the sand for a meditation. 2. Our inspiring “Mindfulness” meditation instructor will guide us through a relaxing and enlightening experience. A morning you will never forget. 3. We will continue along this breathtaking coastline until Boca Cora. Here is another beautiful north coast inlet carved by the sea, a sacred place for the Caquetios, Aruba indigenous people. 4. Winding our way up back to the chapel on this enchanting path called the Firemen’s Trail we will discover the beautiful local flora and fauna of the Alto Vista area as we leave the sea behind us. 5. Most mornings we will have the pleasure of spotting the majestic “Warawara” otherwise known as the Crested Caracara. A truly impressive raptor who looks like a hawk, acts like a vulture but is technically a large tropical falcon.
