If you speak Spanish, you can start your visit by watching the 50-minute documentary. The film is from 1993 and feels long, but it is helpful to gain background on what they've found during the various excavations and research. I especially enjoyed hearing more information on the different petroglyphs we'd soon see. After that, check out the small museum, which features air conditioning as well as bilingual signage, to see some of the artifacts they've uncovered as well as learn some background. And finally, you can walk right where the Taínos once participated in games and ceremonies among the 10 stone-lined plazas and 21 petroglyphs. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and you can get up close to the stones (just don't touch them!). You'll also see the mountain that the Taínos viewed as sacred because it looks like a cemí. When we went, we pretty much had the place to ourselves, and it was a peaceful and fascinating experience for the approximately 1.5 hours we spent at the park. If you're Puerto Rican, interested in indigenous cultures, or just want to see some amazing petroglyphs, make sure to check out el Parque Ceremonial Indígena de Caguana during your next PR road trip!

Due to budget constraints from the recovery effort of Maria there are currently only 2 official tour guides in the town of Poncé to cover their four museums. This means that 2-3 of them are closed most of the days to save on operating costs. 2. If you want to visit any of the museums in Poncé it would be wise to call ahead and setup a time and day so you can be sure that their is a guide available to let you in, show you around and give you a good tour. Also, there isn't any A/c so be sure to wear cool clothing and bring a rag or fan to help you stay cool in the summer months. 3. The Music Museum in Poncé is terrific and, if you are fortunate enough to land Mr. Rodriguez as your guide, you will be truly edifies by the boys of knowledge he will share with you. 4. Be certain to stay to the end of the tour where you will get to see (IMO) the finest collection of PR Quatros assembled in one room by the foremost artist and PR craftsman Carmelo Martéll. 5. If you can, ask to see the courtyard. It is amazing and they would like to start utilizing it fore music events and play productions. -Don't walk through the ground brush though, it has tons of sticky burs. However, you may find a mango or passion fruit if yer lucky. We considered this the "gift shop".

It's amazing to see it if you understand it. It's not expensive and it's interactive and the staff is so sweet and informative. The hike up the hill was a little unexpected and initially unwelcome but it wasn't that bad. If you use an inhaler then bring it. Bring a camera. Bring water. The gift shop is lacking and that's a real opportunity for them because I think people would spend money there. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a piece of history in my opinion. It could use some definite upgrades and it is wayyyyyyy out in the boonies but I am glad we went.

Now, as a "tourist" I visited this house museum that narrates an important part of the Puerto Rican history, the city of Jayuya, and the life of an important Puerto Rican figure, Nemesio R. Canales. This house museum is not the original structure, however it intends to represent the original one. This house contains original and vintage items of furniture, papers, books, and other utensils from the original owners and house. It is well kept and persevered. The staff in charge of the museum was very welcoming and polite. They gave information about the house and narrated some historical events occurred in the house and around it. It was a great experience, plus the museum is surrounded by vegetation and a beutiful view of mountains. I am glad that I'm still able to enjoy Puerto Rico's beautiful places and history. If you life in Puerto Rico and has never visites Jayuya, you love history, or you are simply visiting this city... this museum is recommended!

For example, a specific white Hard Rock Cafe shirt features the Parque de Bombas design on the back. I was quite surprised to learn that it was built in 1882 as a pavilion for an exhibition and later became Puerto Rico's first-ever fire station. For once, it looks nothing like a traditional fire station, and it didn't look that aged, so i suspect the city of Ponce ensures it is well maintained. It is free, but there is a donation pot just after the entrance. So, it doesnt hurt to give a few dollars to such a fine exhibit of firefighting history. On a side note, I parallel-parked on the street for free, as did a few locals. It was around the corner from Jalapeno's restaurant on a one-way street.
