.....................................................

Owner was Catufa the lord and master of this region until 1566 when he fell defeated by the spaniards.

Later in order to grab their land and the indians, joined the guard in the Province of Saldaña with an extension of 1,500 hectares, which was later sold to spanish Jose Caycedo and Maldonado.

In 1964, a group of citizens in the region, and found that the town had power to be given the status of municipality and the engineer commissioned Armando G. Lozano, to make him the new route. In 1969, the Departmental Assembly issued the Ordinance No.5 elevated to township

Fragments of the anthem of this region
......................................................
His crown against two great bridges

Saving the river to bathe her belly,

Southern Catufa precious wife,

Hair spikes of golden sun.

Paradise of beautiful fertile land

Bathed in golden rice mature,

In the drills and plow tillage

They see their children grow up hope.

Hola John,

¿Como esta mi amigo? Your panoramic crop created fantastic frame with enviable contrasts between muddy Saldaña River and amazing blue sky. Very good depth with steel bridge and the house at next shore is excellent addition in green. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.

Saludos cordiales,

Hello John, a tumultuous image of water of a river, like that of a bridge to connect between it the ground now fertile of Catufa, a photograph of a place to charge with history and hope, or framing on this bridge summarizes well a sight on a new route to charge with hope, sincerely ...............Bonjour John, une image des eaux tumultueuse d’un fleuve, ainsi que celle d’un pont pour relier entre elle la terre aujourd’hui fertile de Catufa, une photo d’un lieu charger d’histoire et d’espoir, ou le cadrage sur ce pont résume bien une vue sur un nouvel itinéraire charger d’espoir, bien amicalement

Hi John.
A very nicely coloured and well lit panoramic style of photo. I like the narrow and wide framing. The colour of the water and the sky are always superb together. Nice angle to view the bridge and the building opposite.
Regards,
Andrew

Buenos días John,
El río parece tener un régimen bastante fogoso. Arrastra mucho légamo. El encuadre horizontal es interesante sobre este puente y las construcciones. La luz es favorable. Excelente calidad de la imagen.
Buenas noches
Cordialmente
