PLACES TO EXPLORE- with a few tales.
La Cara del Indio
During the battle of the Taino Indians against the Spaniards during 1511, Chief Mabodamaca led the battle but was slain by Spanish commander Diego de Salazar. Chief Mabodamaca's face was carved into the rock as a monument of his courage and the spirit of his people.
Pozo de Jacinto
Not only is this well surrounded by beauty but it also comes with an interesting tale. Legend has it that a peasant called Jacinto was passing by the well with his cow, when suddenly the cow got spooked and fell into the natural well dragging Jacinto along with him. If you yell "Jacinto, dame la vaca!" (Jacinto, give me your cow!), he will make the sea angry and the tides will begin to rise.
Guajataca Tunnel
Built in the early 1900's this tunnel was built to connect Isabela and Quebradillas. The rail system was mainly used to transport sugar canes from the farms to the processing plants. No longer in use this area in now utilized for beautiful sight seeing and picture opportunities. Located off of the coast, pack a picnic basket and spend the day on the beach.
