Museo El Cemi
In the Coabey Valley of Jayuya, we find one of the most impressive petroglyph mural, La Piedra Escrita. This huge white granite stone, located in the middle of the Saliente River, is carved with dozens of petroglyphs. The site is a powerful energetic point where to this day is a wonderful spot to enjoy the river with the whole family.
