Triple Natural Bridge
Along the rugged northern coastline of Aruba, the landscape changes dramatically. The calm, clear waters of the island’s beaches give way to something far more powerful, wind, waves, and rock shaped over time. It is here that we came across what is known as the Triple Natural Bridge.
This formation is a series of smaller limestone bridges, carved by years of relentless wave action. The ocean crashes against the shore, forcing its way through openings in the rock, gradually shaping and reshaping the coastline.
This site also carries the memory of what once stood nearby. Aruba was home to a much larger and more famous Natural Bridge, one of the biggest of its kind, which collapsed in 2005. What remains along this stretch of coast, including the Triple Natural Bridge, serves as a reminder that these formations are not permanent. They are part of a landscape that is constantly changing.
Aruba is often thought of for its calm beaches, but here, along the northern coast, it reveals a different side, one defined by movement, erosion and the ongoing interaction between land and sea.

Panama Canal
The day we spent on the Panama Canal was unforgettable.

Moving through the locks, you can see there are no pumps or motors. The natural […]
