The Technological Institute The Americas (ITLA), The La Caleta Underwater National Park, a golf course (San Andres), a softball and baseball stadium, a hotel (Quality), an industrial park zone (the Americas), as well as a small beach are there.

La Caleta was founded in 1952 and consisted of about 90 houses covered with lime and sand, without a preconceived development plan.

Settlers came from many places, including Ibarra, Carvajal, Mosque, Los Castros, Lopez, Perez and Cedeño.

Between 1955 and 1956, construction began on what is now the Las Americas International Airport, located on the peninsula of Punta Caucedo.

In 1960 a small number of people who still lived in the south were evicted to complete construction of the International Airport of Las Americas.
