Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located between Wairiruri beach and Andicuri beaches on Aruba, the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins are the remaining remnants of a long-abandoned gold mill that processed gold ore during the Aruban gold rush in the 19th century. Gold was discovered in Aruba in 1824, and the Bushiribana smelter was built by the Aruba Island Gold Mining Company a year later to extract gold from the nearby hills of Ceru Plat. The mine operated for 10 years and the industry produced more than three million pounds of gold over the decade. Today, the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins are a favorite stopover for tourists en route to the Aruba Natural Bridge.
