History
Legend says that a hermit who lived alone on this island for more than 50 years, estranged from the rest of civilization.
The hermit as the fishermen who sporadically came to camp in Isla Verde called him ate what little he produced: rice, cassava, some fruits such as pineapple, coconut, and others that exist in this part of the Gulf.
The hermit moved to this place for reasons that are still unknown even to his own family. The place where he lived was like a cave that he improvised with a few sheets of zinc and small trees he found when he started living in this remote place. To get in or out of his home he had to drag himself.
The door to the hermit´s house was a maze that only he could access. Inside there was only one pot with pieces of cooked cassava with coconut, and a small space with two sticks that served as his bed at night.
