Cactus hedges are the eye catchers of the Arubian landscape.
The purpose of these hedges is to demarcate a territory and prevent the trespassing of people or animals. Their main values are esthetical and cultural-historical. The traveler can find the esthetical values as an intimate feeling arises on him, on the small roads fringed by high hedges of cactus. In addition, a beautiful visage discerns in areas with many hedges as people can see the partition of the different agricultural plots. Its planting, maintenance, usage and age set the cultural- historical values of the hedges.
