Rancho Cumayasa, the equestrian center-river ranch midway between La Romana
and San Pedro de Macoris, honored the union of Central America and the Caribbean last Saturday. With the hoisting of flags of El Salvador,
Guatemala, Panama, Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the eco tourism vacation center symbolically paid tribute to the close relations
with the Central American region. The owners of the ranch, Carlos Arriaza and his daughter Michaela Arriaza, both from El Salvador, hosted visitors
that included the ambassadors of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Taiwan. Arriaza came 18 years ago to work in an industrial free zone,
staying on to start the horse and river ranch from where excursions to Catalina island can be taken. Rancho Cumayasa is also well known for its
Dominican cooking. The ranch has 12 caba?as located amidst a tropical jungle. For more information, contact Michaela Arriaza at Cel. 809 757-0535,
