Bushiribana Gold Mill

This was one of the abandoned Gold Mines
that was the center of Aruba's Gold Rush during the 19th Century
Approximately 3 milllion pound of gold where discovered

In the 1400's and 1500's, adventurers traveled throughout the Caribbean in search of wealth and treasures. According to legend, one of these treasure islands was named "Oro Ruba," which means "red gold." Now known as Aruba, a colorful history of pirates and gold prospecting has shaped the island's history. Today, remnants of this history can still be visited
