30 Petroglyph at Ayo Rock Formation in Santa Cruz District, Aruba

Archeologists estimate the Caquetio people, Arawakan natives from northern Venezuela, were the first inhabitants of Aruba around 1,000 AD. The Caquetíos lived in primitive isolation until discovered by the Spaniards about 500 years later. Little remains of their culture. That is why it is delightful to view their petroglyphs at the Ayo Rock Formation. This is one of two cave drawings protected by a steel gate.
