Notes on Sumidero and Luis Lazo trip. 
Left Havana Sunday 7 a.ra. (April 17, 1909) for Pinar del 
Hio. Hotel Ricardo at noon and coach (at $10 per diem) for 
aumiaero. trie first range ol mountains are met at nebedero , a 
locality given in error by Arango, the actual place of his last 
trip being just over the range (ancient rock) at a few mogotes 
called Magotes del Cerro. We stopped there for a few minutes 
only, reserving same for return journey. The ancient range 
crossed we see the Sierra de los. Organos beyond and descend into 
the Valley of Isabel Maria; thence to Gabezas and Sumidero , 
reaching trie latter place about 6:30. This road is the new 
carretera being built from Pinar del Hio to Guave (about 40 
miles); Sumidero being about one-half way. Stopped at house 
o f pharma cist. Collected next day at S umi de r o and Pd s o i di er o. 
Following day we drove to Luis Lazo and San Carlos, next back 
to Pinar, stopping at the Mogotes del Cerro.
