What does Ariba mean in Aruba?
What does Ariba mean in Aruba? “Arriba” means upwards or up and so it is with Aruba; from the people to the unique natural beauty, the sunshine and the amenities, Aruba is a destination that is always “up!”
What is the alcohol limit in Aruba?
In Aruba, the maximum permitted blood alcohol level is 50mg per 100ml of blood. This is lower than in the UK and means that even one drink can take you over the limit. We always recommend that, when driving in an unfamiliar country, you never drink then get behind the wheel.
What food is Aruba known for?
Aruba is known for being the “happy island” for seafood lovers since fresh-caught fish is abundant. Fishermen haul in wahoo, snapper, shrimp, lobster, oysters, mahi-mahi, grouper, conch, and more. The delicious seafood comes grilled, fried, and served in soups and stews.
Is Aruba strict with drinking?
No. The authorities are not generally strict about enforcing the legal drinking age of 18. From what we have heard from the locals, you will not usually be “carded”. As long as you look old enough and are acting in a mature manner, no one will give you a second glance.
