If you’re looking for the insight of locals and refugees on the horrors and good that come of war, you should stop in Ciudad Segundo Montes. Montes is not a city at all but a collection of broken up communities made up of survivors of the war—talking with them can provide great insight into the cause and effect patterns brought on by the bloodshed.
