“Oldest Pre-Columbian Site in the Caribbean”
Archaeological site
Banwari Trace is the most historically profound archaeological site in the Caribbean, dating back to 5000 BC. It is crucial for anthropology and archaeology students, as it is the discovery site of the 'Banwari Man', the oldest human remains found in the region. Studying this site offers a deep look into the Archaic pre-Columbian era and the early indigenous peoples of the Antilles. The best time to visit is during the dry season (January to May) to avoid muddy terrain. Tourist tip: The site is deeply historical but visually subtle; hiring a local historian or guide will dramatically enhance your understanding of its significance.
