The north side of Aruba is mostly barren except for cactus and scrubby vegetation. So it is fascinating to visit the Ayo Rock Formation in the Santa Cruz district where you will find an enormous pile of monolithic boulders. The Arawak Indians considered this geological phenomenon to be sacred ground. Although it is visited by tourists, you might be lucky enough to only share the walking paths with this pair of skittish wild goats. A similar site north of Hooiberg is called the Casibari Rock Formation.
