Formerly La Unión was a village called "Pueblo Nuevo", in the jurisdiction of "El Conal" (currently San Rafael).

[citation needed] La Unión is located in a plateau-like surface, guarded by dense, green mountains.

Despite the apparent elevation from sea level, sub-tropical forests are present and the weather is tropical.

The majority of people is a cross-breed of Native Americans and Spanish settlers, but in recent years there has been an increase in the population of foreigners.

[1] La Unión is certainly an amazing place to visit, it is worth all the effort to get there because the mountains around it are imposing, dense and green.
