La Piedra Escrita de Jayuya

 

 Donde la Historia Taína Cobra Vida

Escondida entre las montañas verdes del corazón de Puerto Rico, en el municipio de Jayuya, existe un lugar donde el tiempo parece detenerse. Se trata de **La Piedra Escrita**, un tesoro arqueológico y natural que todo amante de la historia, la cultura y la naturaleza debe visitar al menos una vez en la vida.

A orillas del río Saliente, en el barrio Coabey, descansa un imponente bloque de granito que guarda uno de los secretos mejor conservados de la isla: **86 petroglifos taínos** grabados entre los años 600 y 1200 d.C. Figuras humanas, animales, espirales y formas geométricas adornan su superficie, cada una con un significado cultural y espiritual profundo para los taínos, el pueblo indígena que habitó Puerto Rico antes de la llegada de los españoles.

No es casualidad que este sitio forme parte del Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos de EE.UU. desde el año 2003. Su valor histórico es incalculable.
