Abstract

I present this testimony about the construction of the Puerto Ayacucho
– Caicara del Orinoco dirt road –similar to the pike road but public–, as a contribution to the understanding of the historical effort of the citizenship, that aware of the isolation in which their region lives, they seek to open a path that can overcome geographical obstacles for the integration into neighboring regions. Even when they were clear about the isolation in which they lived, they  didn’t feel the interest of the State to integrate them into the national whole. As well as they managed to create a school – center of secondary education – the citizens managed to open roads of integration to the country.
