One of the most favorite tourist attractions of Aruba is the Donkey Sanctuary which is situated here. The attraction has been on the island since 1997 and is a vivid example of a person’s care for our dear friends – animals and little creatures. In ancient times, donkeys were exploited on the island as a means of transportation and load force. However with the advent of progress and the increasing use of automobile transport, they were no longer needed by man and were left to fend for themselves. The unhappy animals wandered along the roads in search of food. The inventors of the reserve took pity on the donkeys and organized a kind of shelter for them, which eventually grew into a real reserve. Currently, 40 species of these mammals live in the Donkey Reserve. Visitors can without difficulty play and take pictures with inhabitants of the reserve. Feeding of the animals by guests is also allowed. Some of the favorite donkey delicacies are apples and carrots. By purchasing souvenirs in the appropriate shop in the reserve, visitors help the reserve, as all funds raised are spent on the maintenance of the animals.
