Guaraca

Guaraca was a Taíno cacique associated with Guayaney and the valley of the Guayanés River in eastern Puerto Rico. His people lived in a landscape of rivers descending toward the coast, where communities cultivated crops and maintained their own settlements. Early colonial records name Guaraca among the Indigenous leaders placed under Spanish encomienda, linking his name to the upheaval that followed the conquest of Borikén.

The later city of Guayama lies here.
