Tainos people reached their development through hunting, pottery, and agriculture.
On the other hand, in the village, we also found representations of the tools that they used. Some of them are the “coa” used for fishing and the “burén” a pot to make casabe, a typical meal made of yuca.
Most importantly, the Treasure Lagoon owes its name because of the Tainos threw their riches to the lagoon as a rebellious act against the Spanish conquerors.
The aborigines celebrated games and religious cults called “areitos”.
Also, they danced and sang around a bonfire with ornaments all over the body praying to their gods.
