Aruba is a beautiful island in the Caribbean Sea. It has a tropical climate with year-round temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. As a result, you can visit Aruba at any time you wish: the weather is almost always pleasant. Do you visit Aruba specifically for its white beaches or do you plan some island hopping in the Netherlands Antilles? The vaccinations you require vary per island. Also, if you travel to Venezuela – or any other country in South America – before or after your stay in Aruba, you may need additional vaccinations. Besides protecting yourself against possible infectious diseases, beware of the bright sunlight and avoid mosquito bites. Dengue occurs in Aruba. Malaria is not prevalent on the island.
