Discover more about Casibari Rock Formations

Located in the heart of Aruba, near Paradera, the Casibari Rock Formations present a striking contrast to the island's beaches. These massive tonalite boulders, some weighing several tons, are remnants of ancient volcanic activity, sculpted over millennia by wind and water. Explore the unique arrangement of the rocks, seemingly stacked upon each other, creating a network of passageways and caverns. Maintained trails and steps allow visitors to climb to the summit, rewarding them with breathtaking 360-degree views of Aruba, and on a clear day, glimpses of Venezuela. The site is considered to hold historical significance for the indigenous Arawak people. Petroglyphs (rock carvings) and ancient tools have been discovered in the area. Visitors can enjoy the on-site Casibari Cafe and Grill for refreshments and snacks. The formations are open daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
