When visiting the island of Puerto Rico, learn a little about its history. Originally it was inhabited by the Taino Indians who had spread throughout the greater portion of the island by the time Spanish explorers arrived. On his second voyage to the "New World", Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico. In 1508 the Spanish monarchy began seriously colonizing the island. The Taino Indians were reduced to slaves by the Christian settlers.
要到波多黎各岛去游玩, 就得多少了解一些当地的历史。这个岛上最初的居民，是印第安泰诺族人（注：目前已绝种）。西班牙探险家跋涉至此时，泰诺人已在岛上繁衍生息，遍及全岛的大部分区域。克里斯托弗.哥伦布在第二次寻找“新大陆”的航程中，发现了波多黎各。1508年，西班牙君主国对波多黎各岛实行严厉的殖民统治。随着信奉基督的殖民者到来，泰诺人全都沦为了奴隶。
