American Bunkers
Many American bunkers at the limite of the jungle. In some of these bunkers, you can find all kinds of material left by the U.S. Army: pipes, olds outboard engine for boat, very big ropes, etc. The empty bunkers are still use by the natives in case of hurricane where they can find a very good shelter. In other time, only hundred of bats were lived inside. The natives said that more 40 bunkers of different sizes can be seen in the island.
