Explore the fascinating Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, located along Aruba's Northern coast. These remains of an abandoned gold mill date back to the nineteenth century when they were used to process ore from nearby hills during Aruba's gold rush. If you find yourself in the area, visiting the ruins is a worthwhile stop, especially if you're en route to other attractions like the natural bridge, Ayo Rock Formation, or the secret natural pool in the vicinity.

This place holds a special spot among my favorites, as it's perfect for watching the sunset or enjoying a nature walk later in the day. On this side of the island, you'll experience plenty of wind and salt in the air, creating a unique atmosphere.
