Aruba contains Mount Jamanota, the island’s highest point.
Mount Jamanota rises to 188 metres above sea level in the eastern part of Aruba. Although modest in elevation, it is the highest natural point on the island and offers broad views across Aruba’s dry, cactus-covered landscape.
Aruba is one of the three islands commonly grouped as the ABC islands, together with Bonaire and Curaçao. The group lies off the north coast of Venezuela and is part of the southern Caribbean.
Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, rather than an independent sovereign state. Its capital is Oranjestad, and Dutch and Papiamento are among the languages used there. Mount Jamanota is sometimes confused with Hooiberg, the more visually prominent volcanic formation near Oranjestad.
