Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins Tickets & Tours

The Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins are the remnants of a long-abandoned gold mill that processed gold ore during the Aruban gold rush in the nineteenth century. Already in 1725, The Dutch explored the presence of mineral ores on Curaçao and on Aruba and Bonaire too. The results were disappointing in the beginning but the rumor that the Spanish had left hidden treasures on the islands kept the people going and the spirit alive. The Bushiribana Gold Mill was finally built in 1874 by the English Aruba Island Gold Mining Company.
