Indian Ceremonial Part By: Nelsonafael Collazo autor of the book Tibet Centro Ceremonial Indigena Indigenous Ceremonial Center. Edicion Bilingue
"The Indian Ceremonial Center of Tibes ,located in the city of Ponce was discovered in 1975.The frist inhabitants of the area were Indians who came from South America. They must have settled here at about the beginning of the christian era,near the third century. Slowly ,the Tainos Indians occupied and shared the places acquired by the Inneris.
At approximately 800 years before the Discovery of Puerto Rico had constructed the "bateyes"or Ceremonial Parks, That we have today at the Tibes Ceremonial Park.Here they used to celebrate their "Areytos or traditional festivities,their sports and other importants events.Maybe in the past,the utilized the place as a cemetery or burial place.There is evidence that they constructed structures(bohios) in the Ceremonial Center although their living quarters were not built here.
At the Museum in the Ceremonial Park of Tibes ,we may see burials,charm idols,vessels,petrogliphs and other artfacts used bt the Indians who lived here.The place is a sanctuary of prehistoric trees such as "higuero,hucar,guanabana,corazon"among other.There are varieties of birds such as "martinete(hammer),ruisenor(nightingale),pitirre.mucaro(owl),zorzaly carpintero (woodpecker),which existed at the times of our Indian.There is also yucca,tobacco,corn,"lerenes"and other indigenous Plantation in the area."

Tibes also functions as a solar observatory
Our Ancient ones observed the solstices there
The major batey symbolizes the Bat.
Creature associated with the spirits of the Dead
