guaynabo pr
Guaynabo is known as Capital del Deporte (capital of the sport). Puerto Rico's first settlement, Caparra, was founded in the area in 1508 by Juan Ponce de LeÃ³n. Guaynabo derives its name from a Taino Indian term which means lugar de aguas dulces.
The Caparra Ruins Historical Museum & Park, the first Spanish settlement on Puerto Rico (1508), includes the remains of explorer Juan Ponce de LeÃ³n's residence. Guaynabo is located in the northern coast of the island, north of Aguas Buenas; south of CataÃ±o; east of BayamÃ³n; and west of San Juan.
