One of the top tourist attractions on the island is the Chapel of our lady of Alto Vista which is geographically positioned on the North Coast of the island.

The gardens are for 100% accessible by wheelchair. During time the management has worked hard to provide such a service and we are very proud to say that no-one is excluded from visiting our grounds. There are ramps and allocated areas for disabled visitors and resting places everywhere where visitors can rest away from the sun and catch a breath of fresh Aruban air.

Animal Photography

Animal Photography

It is allowed to take pictures of the animals, nevertheless we kindly urge visitors to do so within decent and acceptable conditions, always respecting and taking the animal’s habitat into account. Flash can scare off the animals, so please avoid the use of flash particularly within close reach of the animals.

It is advisable to take pictures in order to take home a beautiful memory of your visit to our premises when the gardens rangers are handling the animals and indicate that pictures of the animals may be taken. When such an instant occurs, it may so happen that you can hand feed or carry the animal for a memorable picture moment!
