#3 in my continuing series of caches at the Village Murals. I've always called these villages Ordot Chalan Pago, but here they say it's Chalan Pago Ordot. But which ever way you say it, this is a great mural for two terrific villages!
The municipality of Chalan Pago-Ordot stretches across the narrow “waist” of the island of Guam. Housing areas are built mostly along Route 4. These villages are on the dividing line between the mostly volcanic southern half of the island and the mostly limestone northern half of the island. The result is a diverse and rugged topography characterized by low hills, small valleys, wetland areas and streams that seem to disappear into the ground. The area is covered with lush green vegetation and homes are built on flat areas of land at times next to small valleys. Chalan Pago is a Chamorro word that means “Pago Road.” Chalan Pago referred to the area traveled through to get from Hagåtña to Pago, which may lend to the naming of the area, which is covered with Pago trees (hibiscus tiliaceus). The village name is derived from the Chamorro word otdot, which means “ant.” If you'd like to learn more about CPO, visit guampedia.org
