History of Sabana de Torres

As described by Don Rafael Rojas Bustos, Juan José Torres was a person of short stature (approximately 1.62 m), of dark complexion, straight hair and Indian features that always smoked snuff and wore a Panama hat very short wings. He was shy and very few words. The Torres family possibly disappeared from the region in the early twentieth century .

In mid-January 1919, a raging fire destroyed about forty huts, thatched or palm and they were locked in wood or adobe, in which hundreds of brave workers facing inclement weather, the pesky mosquitoes were grouped and which had no more than a possibility of fun: the ranches guarapo sold.
