Ayamaco

Ayamaco recalls Aymaco, an Indigenous chief associated with the western valleys of Puerto Rico. Historical accounts place his settlement near the Calvache River and the country of Aguada, not far from the Culebrinas. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, this was among the regions where Taíno leaders retained authority as Spanish conquest advanced across the island. Rivers descending from the mountains carried the routes and resources of the western valleys to the coast.

The later city of Aguadilla lies here.
