Alto Vista Chapel

Capilla di Alto Vista

A bright yellow chapel in the wild north coast, known as the 'Pilgrim Church', with fourteen Stations of the Cross lining the path to it.

This is the site of Aruba's earliest Catholic church, first established by Spanish missionaries around 1750. The bright yellow chapel standing today was rebuilt in 1952. The chapel is surrounded by cactus scrubland and faces the north coast, and it is very quiet. The winding path to the chapel is lined with the Stations of the Cross, and pilgrims often walk it. Entry is free, so please keep quiet. It is about a 15-minute drive from Palm Beach and can be combined with the Bushiribana gold mill ruins.
