We immersed in African and Taíno indigenous people’s history and culture during a guided walking tour in Caguas Botanical Garden located in Municipality of Caguas, Puerto Rico. We listened to the tour guide’s interpretation while admiring outstanding sculptures created by well-known artist Samuel Lind and Juan Santos Torres (also known as Picapiedras de Guavate) in honor of Puerto Rico’s African and Taíno heritage. Following our walk on “Arboleda ancestral africana” and “Arboleda ancestral taína” trails, we thought we had seen all the history-related highlights on the tour’s path. However, as we approached a particular tree, we saw something wonderful on its trunk: an African face profile’s representation. The picture speaks for itself so look it up in this article’s photo gallery.

Be attentive at all times while exploring historical places, culture, and the outdoors. You may be dazzled by nature when least expected.
