Why go
The caves show two sides of Aruba’s rocky interior. At Guadirikiri, also called Quadirikiri, roof openings light the chambers and draw attention to their shape. At Fontein, drawings connect the cave to the island’s Indigenous past. Pick the cave that interests you most, or plan each as its own stop within Arikok.
What to look for
- Sunlight enters Guadirikiri through openings in the cave roof.
- Fontein preserves Indigenous drawings on its interior surfaces.
Useful to know
- Choose Guadirikiri or Fontein as your cave stop; they are separate sites within Arikok.
- Check the park’s current admission and access arrangements before going.
