Cerro Apante is another place that still preserves its beauty, I recommend that you visit it and enjoy the climate, its flora... but please... do not throw garbage, there is already too much... it costs nothing to take care of what you God gave us... go with your family, with your children... teach generations to love nature... it is a great place...
