El Chorro de Maita explained

El Chorro de Maíta is an archaeological site near Guardalavaca in Eastern Cuba^[1] spanning the late prehistoric through early colonial periods, from around 1300 to around 1550 AD.^{[2] [3] [4]} The site dates from the early 16th century and consists of an excavated Indigenous settlement and cemetery, including dozens of well-preserved human remains. Recent scholarship suggests that Indigenous peoples were living here many decades after Christopher Columbus' arrival. Across from the site is a restaurant and a reconstructed Indigenous village that features life-sized models of native dwellings.
