Also called the "City of Freshness", it is located at the confluence of five mountain chains, resulting in a landscape of basins, waterfalls, green mountains.

This city has two caves within its boundaries and is home to the historical monument of Fort Salnave.
Carice (13,615) The settlement of this remote agricultural town is the result of a wave of migration caused by a massacre in 1937.

The local economy is based on agriculture (mangoes, bananas, and coffee) and trade.
