Aruba is an island located in the Lesser Antilles, located in the Caribbean Sea, just 27 kilometers north of the Venezuelan coast. It is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is the smallest of the four countries in the Kingdom. It has a population of over 110,000 people and is the most densely populated island in the Caribbean.
