Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure! Combining my passions for history, exploration, and discovery, I invite you to uncover the “real” history of a small but fascinating island: Aruba.

Aruba is a small Island in the southern region of the Caribbean, less than 40 km north of the coast of Venezuela. Home to the local Arawak tribes, discovered by the Spaniards and now part of the Dutch Kingdom. Its location and Dutch Colonial past is what sets it apart from the traditional Spanish, British and French Caribbean history.

The upcoming chapters are based on carefully researched information from various sources, including history books, websites, documentaries, and any credible materials I can find. My goal is to provide an honest, in-depth look into what truly happened in Aruba’s past—beyond the typical stories you’ve heard.

As I continue my research, I’ll be updating these chapters with newly discovered facts and insights. So be sure to check back often to stay updated on this evolving journey through Aruba’s rich history!
