Before cruise ships… before souvenir stalls… there was the Waf.

Long before Oranjestad became the bustling capital we know today, the “Waf” (Aruba’s old wharf) was the heartbeat of island life.

Every morning, fishermen would roll in with the sunrise, selling their fresh catch straight from the boat. Farmers from the inland came with carts full of fruits, herbs, and vegetables. People gathered here not just to shop, but to connect — to share stories, trade goods, and live the rhythm of Aruba. At the time, Aruba didn’t have supermarkets or malls, so the Waf was where islanders got their daily essentials.

Fast forward to today, and that same spirit lives on. The Waf is now a vibrant waterfront market where local artists, crafters, and vendors bring color and culture to the harbor.

You’ll still find the soul of Aruba here — just now it comes with handmade jewelry, island paintings, and more.

📍Stop by when you’re in Oranjestad. You’re not just shopping, you’re stepping into a living piece of Aruban history.

Cruising through Oranjestad in style.

This charming tram line connects the cruise ship terminal to the city center, stopping at local landmarks, shops, and cultural hotspots.

And yes, the Aruba Tram is electric and more! It operates using a hybrid system powered by lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, eliminating the need for overhead wires and making it one of the most eco-friendly streetcars in the world.

The tram was designed and built by TIG/m Modern Street Railways in California, USA. Its power system is further supported by Aruba’s renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power, aligning with the island’s commitment to sustainability.

This innovative design not only reduces emissions but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of Oranjestad’s historic downtown, as the trams operate without the clutter of overhead wires.

Aruba’s Ancient Locals (and a Surprising Delicacy!) 🦎

If you’ve ever been to Aruba, chances are you’ve seen the island’s most chill locals basking in the sun or slowly crossing a trail — the green iguana. These fascinating reptiles are native to Aruba and have been part of the island’s ecosystem for centuries. Locally known as “yuana”, they thrive in our warm climate and are commonly found near beaches, rocky areas, and even around resorts.

It might surprise you, but iguana has been part of traditional cuisine in Aruba and other Caribbean islands for generations. Known as “Aruban bush meat,” iguana soup is believed to be high in protein and even an aphrodisiac. The meat has a mild flavor, often compared to chicken, and is usually slow-cooked with local spices, herbs, and vegetables to make a hearty soup. 🍲

For older generations, eating iguana wasn’t exotic — it was just another way to use what nature provided. Today, it’s more of a cultural experience, sometimes found in rural areas or traditional events.

While iguanas are still relatively abundant, they are now a protected species in Aruba, just like most of the island’s native wildlife. Modern-day Aruba places a strong emphasis on conservation and respect for nature. As a result, most restaurants no longer serve iguana, though some locals may still carry on the tradition privately. If you’re ever offered a taste of iguana soup, consider it a glimpse into Aruba’s cultural past — but always be mindful of the laws and the importance of protecting our island’s unique biodiversity.
