In 1981 a tour was carried out by a commission of the provincial UJC and, on reviewing, they proposed to build a camping site which arises in this same year. Its operation began with a tent and a staff of 11 workers who offered service on week-ends. Up to a thousand people were received. The campers were given unprocessed food for preparation in rustic kitchens that existed at that stage. There were also different species of timber and fruit trees in the garden, such as: cedar, mahogany, “majagua,” among others. Lemons, oranges, guavas, star apples, grapes, etc. were counted among the fruit trees.
The facility currently has a total area of ??113 633.68 square meters, the used area is 2370.37 square meters, the construction area is 720.10 square meters, and there is a free area of ??111 63.31 square meters.
