voltear la montaña

English translation: clear the mountainside

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase: voltear la montaña English translation: clear the mountainside Entered by: Claudia Luque Bedregal

Spanish to English translations [PRO] Agriculture / estudio impacto ambiental
Spanish term or phrase: voltear la montaña El proceso colonizador de las tierras fue lento, paulatino. Cualquier persona que lo decidiera se internaba en lo que los mismos informantes indican, la montaña, no había caminos bien definidos, ellos iban abriendo trocha a caballo con carretas con bueyes y hasta a pie, llegaban a los lugares y tomaban el terreno que podían trabajar de acuerdo a la cantidad de los miembros de su familia, **volteaban la montaña** y empezaban a sembrar. (...) diversos pioneros provenientes de la provincia de Cartago, especialmente del cantón de Turrialba, quienes en su afán de buscar una mejor calidad de vida, ocuparon diversas tierras ociosas o se integraron en grandes fincas como peones asalariados. Ellos **voltearon la montaña** e iniciaron un proceso de producción agropecuaria en una economía de subsistencia familiar. Thanks!
