So as I sit here in my crappy office, day dreaming about Aruba, i am playing with Google Maps and the Satellite feature and noticed a road connecting the Alto Vista Chapel and the Bushiribana Gold Smelter/Natural Bridge. Has anyone driven this road? Is it in good shape? easy drive in a Jeep?

Doable, even not in a Jeep, bumpy, dirt, just stay OUT of the sand.

We drove it in December and it was in rough shape. Take your time and you will get there eventually, but not for anyone who gets car sick or hates being jolted around.

Agree with everyone else - VERY bumpy ride, but totally doable and absolutely beautiful

Just did last week not bad at all in a jeep if you have a bit of off road driving experience. Just a couple of tricky spots, don't be afraid to put it in 4-wheel drive.
