Discover Alto Vista Chapel: A Sacred and Scenic Starting Point
The tour begins at the iconic Alto Vista Chapel, perched on a hill overlooking Aruba’s northeastern coastline. This small, yellow chapel isn’t just a pretty sight—it’s one of the most spiritual spots on the island.
Built in 1750 by Spanish missionaries, Alto Vista means “high view” in Spanish. The chapel is surrounded by winding trails, cactus-studded hills, and expansive ocean views. It’s the perfect starting point for a mindful hike—quiet, calm, and connected to centuries of spiritual energy.
As the sky lightens and the world begins to stir, this sacred site sets the tone for a truly mindful morning.
