What beauty!, But we have not even remotely been able to boast of it. If this beautiful freshwater lake, was in another place, probably had a few hotels, a pier, (lit dual carriageway roads) and do not ever neglect your environment with permanent planting trees in the mountain environment. Ramirez Sanchez is on and we are not able to appreciate these rivers that we have, from mats is the smallest, to Yuna, that mine (lords "ORO"), that agriculture, that agriculture, geographical place we occupy in the Cibao The province is less than an hour to reach the capital Sto. Dgo .. All these are factors we have to know by heart so we will not try to follow deceiving to what is ours. We have never given value to these natural resources we have, for example, that value is that river "Yuna", how much wealth produces each year. I have the certainty that someday, even in a hundred years, the lifting of voices claiming the right to all those fortunes that exist in our "SANCHEZ RAMIREZ" and that we seem to not know. I would be completely wrong. Atte. Julio R. Jerez (Falito), Orlando, Florida.
