Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort - Pack for a Purpose

Buy Local

We have recently been informed by a PfaP traveler of the current situation in customs in Aruba. Please be sure adhere to the requirements when you Pack for a Purpose. Travelers MUST have receipts, and the value of any donations brought in must be under $500 USD. If not, customs will make up a value, and you must pay the tax - in cash - or they will confiscate the donation.
