The Taíno people, indigenous to the Caribbean, primarily constructed their shelters known as "bohíos," which were circular or rectangular huts made from wooden frames and thatched roofs of palm leaves. These structures were often raised on platforms to protect against flooding and pests. The design provided adequate ventilation and insulation, making them suitable for the warm climate of the Caribbean. Bohíos were typically organized in villages, reflecting their communal lifestyle.
