Pero al bajar la cordillera, a medida que crece el calor cambia la vegetación; y el que se asoma a gozar de este admirable paisaje descubriría, si no se lo impidieran los pretiles del Salto, las palmeras, los naranjos, los entables de caña de azúcar y los trapiches del pueblo de San Antonio de Tena, a tiempo que[1] ve las rocas de Chinchas y de Canoas coronadas por una selva de pinos y nogales, de robles y laureles. — The Spanish American Reader, Ernesto Nelson
