The name “La Boca de Yumurí” is used to indicate the mouth of Yumurí River whose name comes from the last words of indigenous people: “I will die”, when they jumped into the void to avoid getting arrested by the Spanish. Have a walk next to the river all the way to Almendra Island or have a closer look at the Mangalito Beach to top off your visit.
Another point worth mentioning is the Túnel o Paso de los Alemanes (Germans’ Tunnel or Way) denominated like that, as a German man used to charge passing people in the olden days. Its significance stems from a splendid arch when it comes to vegetation, a lovely place for an excellent memento picture.
