5. Objective of the Project To know about some tourist sites in the province of Cocle, through their different legends and traditional tales, so that they value their culture and natural landscapes.

6. Learning Situation Once I Heard a student wondering about the origin of a place called “The Three Maidens Fall.” A partner told him that it was a small river located in Los Santos. Other student smiled at them and said that it was a beautiful fall divided into three parts, located in The Anton Valley.

7. But he concluded by saying that it was born as the result of the constant cry of three ladies, who had lost their children. After listening to those comments, I became aware that most of the time tourists or foreign people know even more about our own culture and history than we Panamanians. And I felt even worst after realizing that although they were from the province of Cocle, they were ignorant of their own culture.

8. Generating Question Which strategies would you recommend us Panamanians to know and value our origins and traditions, as well as the tourist sites of the beautiful province of Cocle?
