Casibari Rocks and Mount Hooiberg (in Explore 2/2/21)
Volcanic action left piles of boulders strewn across the Aruban landscape (similar action created the much larger rock formations in Joshua Tree National Park in California, USA). The Casibari Rocks is the largest set of formations on this Caribbean island known mostly for its beach resorts. Spread over a few acres of cactus gardens, Casibari is a peaceful spot for wonder and quiet contemplation.
In the background you see Mt. Hooiberg, one of several ancient volcanic cones that dot the Aruban landscape. At 541 feet, it's the second tallest on the island. There are a set of steps (the Hooiberg Steps) that allow fairly easy access to the summit from which one can see the entire island.
