Aruba : Alto Vista Chapel
La Capilla de Alto Vista es una estructura muy kawaii en el medio de la naturaleza caribeña i.e. iguanas, cactus, rocas y desierto que sorprende por su colorido, los signos que adornan la carretera marcando la pasión de jesucristo y predicando la palabra del señor. Esta Capilla data de 1953, pero reemplaza a una de 1750 que fue la primera iglesia católica en Aruba, construida por el misionero español Domingo Antonio Silvestre.
Aparte de lo curiosos que son estos carteles, que parecen sacados del Oeste Americano, está rodeada por un laberinto enorme que los peregrinos modernos recorren, sea rezando o simplemente meditando. No hay forma correcta de caminar por el laberinto, sólo se trata de entrar y dejarte llevar, un poco como la vida misma.
Alto Vista Chapel is a super cute church in the middle of Aruba's countryside. Surrounded by cactus, rock and kitsch signs with prayers and visions of the stations of the cross, it's the perfect place to explore the island's history or simply get engaged (as the couple below) after wandering through the intricate labyrinth that surrounds the chapel. The coloring reminds of Fakarava in many ways while the signs and cactuses seem taken out of a Spaghetti Western Movie. Certainly worth a visit.
