A recognition to the many English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutch sailors who entered these coasts between 1578 and 1700. From characters such as Francis Drake and his ship “Golden Hind” to the buccaneer Bartolomé Sharp in the “Santísima Trinidad”, as well as the legend of the Treasure of Guayacán, give an account of the passage of these navigators through the bay of La Herradura.
The place was formerly used to strategically monitor the arrival of pirate ships.
