This park is dedicated to the Taíno Culture, on which used to be an Indian Village is one of the most important archeological discoveries made in the Antilles. The discovery provides an insight as to how the indigenous tribes of the Igneri and Tainos lived and played during and before the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the New World.

I was inspired on the Taíno theme, with a far different approach never been considered by any other artist in Puerto Rico. My concept was to present the origin of the islands, especially those islands in the Caribbean, with some of the early symbolism created by those cultures that flourished in that part of the New World.
The way the islands were at first, without any pollution or land ownership was a fact that the European could not understand. The Islands are symbolically presented by the female figures, scuptures and installations. Any island is woman and mother who takes care of her children, who are not other than the inhabitants of theses small pieces of land floating on the ocean. The stones represent the origin of the islands taken place during the Pangaea and the process was assisted by all sort of spiritual forces.
Many of the works are still available for sale.
