Centro Ceremonial Indígena de Tibes

Loved this place! They offer a free tour and explain so much history, I would definitely go back. As I walked through, listening to the stories, I could almost envision what it was like living during those times. It’s a really nice and relaxing place. I recommend wearing good shoes (not required, but helpful) and bringing water. Most of the tour is outside, but the indoor museum has some air conditioning. It’s also dog-friendly, so make sure to bring water for your pets as well.

Very uneventful for a Saturday visit and not what I remember from 10 years ago. The huts don’t exist anymore…? I wish this location was better funded. The displays could be better maintained and organized, and there are no tour guides— only one worker who stepped out of the office to greet us and explain where to go which was appreciated. The bathrooms are also in good condition. The highlight for me, personally, was walking the bridge over the clear river and seeing the horses. If you see these 2 friendly pups, make sure you give them some petsies— they’re absolutely adorable.

Incredible opportunity to learn more about the Taino people. Very knowledgeable staff. Would recommend a review of the science and scholarship in the main exhibit because apparently some information was not up to date. Grateful for good guides!!

Pretty cool museum for a nice little stop coming off the highway. Free parking and free entry. ( need at least an hour)

The drive up to the site was breathtaking! Loved seeing the museum and learning a bit about the history before going to see the ball courts and hieroglyphics. I also met An archeologist who explained that the tribe would travel by the stars at night in their canoes from the coast— even under ground in some places. So I explored that site next at Reserva Natural Cueva del Indio the next day (see the beach pics!)

Very interesting exhibitation. Had a lot of artifacts from the different cultures and tribes. The stones were really interesting and had many different formations and petroglyphs. I enjoyed it.

Absolutely essential for any Puerto Rican person or tourist. There is no other place like this on the island that I have come across. The staff is also very knowledgeable and friendly. The archaeological site can be a little difficult for those who are less mobile. The museum and botanical path leading up to the site have plenty to offer for those who cannot walk the grounds themselves.

This place was so amazing and our tour guide Emilio was so helpful! I’d definitely come back here!
