Guarame is a charming tiny village overlooking the sea and developed initially as a farming area. Circuiting two nearby hills and passing through the village itself, a dirt road climbs into the saddle where the two hills meet, giving you spectacular views of the country, before drooping down to the green fertile valley on the other side. You can see the fields and allotments called conucos, dispersed along the valley bottom. These are irrigated and used for cultivation mainly for peasant multi-cropping of yucca, sweet potatoes, maize, coconuts, bananas, sugar cane, and beans.
