The road leading to the village from the north emphasizes on green sugar cane fields in the foreground and a spendide view of the mountain range in the background. And this single road leading to the village provide a feeling of tunneling. By interpretation, the name ‘Creve Coeur’ (french) means ‘Broken Heart’, but this naming might be erroneous or of a different meaning if you visit the village.
