I went on this tour with Javier almost three years ago and I still think about it. Javier knows so much about the pre-Columbian history of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean - he wrote his master's thesis on it. My husband and I learned so much visiting these sites with Javier! The entire Caribbean was extremely interconnected, and visiting the site of the ball game courts drives that home. This is an *absolute* must-do tour if you are at all interested in anthropology, archaeology, and/or history. Probably one of the most informative travel experiences I've had ever.

I came to learn more about the Taino people, the culture, history and the Taino area. This tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide was so knowledgeable and so friendly. I had so many questions but our guide was so patient and kind. We had an amazing time visiting the cultural site and the caves. I would recommend this tour to everyone and anyone. I went on this tour with the hope I would learn what I needed about the Taino people for my research. I learned so much and so much more. I learned about the people, culture and had a great lunch. It was like spending a day with Indiana Jones. The views were incredible and this history is so important. We must support the culture and survivance of Puerto Rico and her indigenous population.

Javier is an excellent guide with a passion to tell the story of the Taino. We now have a much better appreciation for the Taino people, their culture and beliefs. Javier gladly answered our many questions and helped us to understand that not everything about the Taino people can be learned by studying the few artifacts left behind and the written notes from a Spanish explorer. Lunch and a visit to a cave ended a very special day.
