Bushiribana Gold Smelter Ruins

On the northern coast, midway down the island, sits the abandoned gold mill that once processed ore from mines in the nearby hills during Aruba's gold rush of the nineteenth century. In 1824, gold was finally discovered in Aruba.

Take a trip to the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins and leave your mark at this historic site with your own rock formation in the Wish Garden along the shore.

Great Place for pictures of the ruins and a great view of the other side of the island . About 20 minutes from Palm Beach .

Well worth the trip! Be sure to rent a Jeep to make it even more fun. Try to get there in early afternoon or morning to beat the De Palm Tour which over crowds it. - Calvin Koo
