Aruba is roughly 400–410 km (about 250–255 miles) from Caracas in a straight line across the sea.

Basic distance

  • The straight-line (air) distance between Aruba and Caracas is usually given as about 405–411 km, which is around 252–255 miles.
  • In more casual terms, that’s a short regional flight, under an hour in the air for a typical commercial jet.

City-to-city examples

  • One calculator lists the distance from Oranjestad (Aruba’s capital) to Caracas as about 411 km (255 miles).
  • Another source measuring Oranjestad–Caracas reports about 410–411 km, which lines up with the same range.

Why numbers vary slightly

  • Different tools use different exact points on each place (city centers vs. airport vs. island centroid), so you see small differences like 403 km vs. 411 km.
  • For planning or “how far is Aruba from Caracas” as a general question, treating it as about 400 km / 250 miles is accurate enough.
