Guayama, Administrative division in southern Puerto Rico, United States.
Guayama extends from the Caribbean Sea coastline to the central mountain range, encompassing both urban zones and natural landscapes across 7.85 square kilometers.
The Spanish Governor Matías de Abadía established this administrative region in 1736, initially naming it San Antonio de Padua de Guayama after a Taíno leader.
Local residents maintain stories about baseball games and witchcraft, leading to the nickname 'Pueblo de los brujos' among Puerto Rican communities.
The Municipality Hall processes administrative procedures at the Municipal Building, located at P.O. Box 360, with four banking institutions serving the population.
The territory includes notable geographical features such as Cerro de la Tabla and Cerro Tumbado mountains, while maintaining a consistent tropical temperature of 27°C.
