Jayuya, Mountain municipality in central Puerto Rico
The municipality of Jayuya lies in a valley within the Cordillera Central mountain range at 1,496 feet above sea level.
Founded in 1911, Jayuya transformed from an 1878 coffee-producing settlement into an established municipality in Puerto Rico's central region.
The municipality preserves indigenous Taíno heritage through the El Cemí Museum and hosts the National Indigenous Festival each year.
Residents and visitors can access banking services through the Banco Popular de Puerto Rico branch located in the municipal center.
The Jayuya Uprising of 1950 marked a significant political event when local nationalists temporarily declared Puerto Rico an independent republic.
