Originally one of the most sacred areas of the indigenous Taino of Puerto Rico, this park boasts ten or more pre-Columbian sacred ball courts, as well as standing stones and petroglyphs. There is also a museum containing information and artifacts relating to the little-known Taino people. The descendants of the Taino live on the island today.

Note: Puerto Rico is a dependency of the USA but posted with Caribbean Islands for clarity

Ceremonial plazas, petroglyphs, a museum exhibit displaying artifacts from the Taino culture and gardens filled with native trees like the ceiba, the corozo palm and the cojobana.

This is really in Puerto Rico, and the ball courts are the real attractions. I had hoped my bracketed comment would be removed. Seem to be a very interesting site, but there's not much about it on the web. Something about a petroglyph depicting a woman with frog legs and a large headdress sounded intriguing.

We don't have a topic for the Caribbean, so it could probably go under Rock Art or Other Archaeology. Thanks!
