Very nice chapel, a lot of history. Nice quiet area, road needs to be paved. I like the vendor selling handmade religious items.
This beautiful chapel at one of the highest points in Aruba is worth the short drive from the Palm Beach high rises.
The chapel was part of a tour we did with EL Tours. It was a nice stop, and we could go inside and take photos or walk around outside. Chapel is very small and compact. The view was really good with the ocean in the distance. Worth a stop if in the area.
I just came home from God's Acre Healing Springs in Blackville, SC. A friend asked was the energy at the springs like Alto Vista Chapel? The chapel sits on two crossing magnetic fields I was told, if you know about magnetic healing for energy and ailments, you know not to leave Aruba without stopping by that hill. If your wallet isn't feeling Aruba, then drive to SC and get some free water! Let the atheists in your life know, we can't hide from God's magic on Earth. Don't just go from place to place aimlessly.......wherever, whenever....find the magic.
As our tour bus nears the chapel, I notice the white crosses spaced along the edge of the road - these represent the 12 Stations of the Cross. Every Easter local residents participate in this religious ceremony. Located not to far from the town of Noord, the Alto Vista Chapel is a small but charming chapel with a nice view of the ocean. So many churches are closed to the public. So, I was pleased to see that we could go inside the chapel. This is definitely worth a visit.
Gorgeous view of sunrise! Peaceful and serene. Worth getting up early at least once on your vacation. I promise!
We visit the Chapel every year when in Aruba. We met an "angel" there one year, but that is a whole other story. The vendor outside selling religious items is a lovely man who is very religious. His wife makes many of the pieces. We bring dog food when we visit the Chapel as he feeds the local wild dogs. A lovely chapel, lovely people,
This was one of our stops on the Town and Country Tour with De Palm Tours. Our guide was Bert and he was great. Bert gave us good information about this chapel, but seeing it was charming. The view was unexpectedly good. The stop was relaxing and some vendors were on site to provide food and drink in the parking areas. If you had more time here, you would enjoy lingering for the view. This site has historical significance.
Beautifully located on a hill outside of the city.A very enjoyable drive to reach this place,quite and serene atmosphere!!We loved it!!!
Beautiful setting on a rise over looking the ocean in the distance. Church is very well maintained. Popular with the locals and tourists. We did attend Mass there, all in Spanish. It was pretty crowded. A must visit.
