Rio Escalante

Well, it takes a lot of love for our river to return

The Escalante River was the most elegant river and the one that gave life to this beautiful and beautiful city today only the name remains

Na 'the river is already dead

Because instead of a wide river and fluvouring as it was and as devious to see often is now a sanjita critically what passes through the center of the two cities that are San Carlos and Santa Bárbara de zulia and our rulers have been enriched with it in the supposed dredging that they never did is why it hurts

On November 11, 1911, El Jasmine arrives at the port of Santa Cruz de Zulia, the canoe Delia María, his cook unloads several pieces of wood to cut firewood for the stove, one of those timbers was already trying to break it in several ports and in this place at the first blow of his ax, it opens longitudinally in 2 halves and the big surprise is that in its center there were 2 crosses, one in high relief and the other in low relief perfectly fitting. From there on it has become a miraculous relic that is protected in the Diocesan Sanctuary "Santa Cruz Aparecida".
