The Caguana Ceremonial Site dates from Puerto Rico's late prehistoric and early contact era. The Caguana site, the largest site of its type in the West Indies, is located in the rainy west central mountains on the east side of the Tanama River, in Barrio Caguana. In 1955, the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture acquired the site and began a program of stabilization and restoration. Cobbled walkways border 10 bateyes and stone monoliths, many decorated with petroglyphs, rim some of the court.
The largest Taino ceremonial ground on the island. Beautiful glyph carvings. Well maintained grounds with minimal protection, so be careful. Great information posted on a wall, but unfortunately I did not get to go into the museum, which probably has better display. Open Wed-Sun. Call ahead for reservation. A guide came up and offered more information about the ceremonial grounds and important plants surrounding the field. The drive is slow and winding through amazing mountains that give you an entirely different, less touristy view of this beautiful island. Waze gave good directions. (Another great opportunity is the Batey Adventure Tours right across the street! 7 ziplines, rappelling, kayaking through a mountain cave, suspension bridge, with wonderful, positive and energetic guides. I'm 56 and pretty sedentary, so it was challenging!)

Very interesting place. Great place to take pictures. You can also walk, bike ride or take 4 wheeler trip.

At the end of 1991, male human remains of the man named "the man from Puerto Ferro" were found. It is considered a burial site since it has planned characteristics such as the alignment of carved rocks pointing towards the bay. The fetal position in which the remains were found indicates that it was a planned mortuary practice. The skeleton dates from approximately four thousand years. In spite of being located in a private estate in PR-997, it is labeled so that the public can access for free
Once a well-known estate, community and sugar farm, Central Aguirre is one of Puerto Rico's most emblematic ruins. The estate was one of the biggest and most important sugar plantations up until the 1960s, where consecuitive losses dug its grave.
