While the Taíno were once considered extinct, many descendants live throughout Puerto Rico today, with significant concentrations in the central mountain regions.
​Key Living Communities
​Indiera Alta: Located in the mountains of Maricao, this area is often cited as a historic refuge where Taíno families maintained their traditions.
​Jayuya: Known as the "Indigenous Capital" of Puerto Rico, it remains a center for cultural festivals and Taíno heritage.
