Description
J�baro is a term used to refer to mountain people, who lived "in-land" in the heart of the island, and are the backbone of the Puerto Rican culture. A j�baro was the poor campesino, uneducated, and illiterate. He lived in extreme poverty. He made do with what little he had. The j�baro was not educated, but he was not stupid. He had natural wisdom. Other traits traditionally linked to j�baros were honesty, bravery, hospitality, self-sufficiency, stuburness, and mucho orgullo. We don't know much about the development of the "j�baro," but we know what it represents today - a true and genuine Puertorrique�o.

Sorry, I sold the original and I forgot to take a good picture before selling. Due to the poor resolution of this picture, is only available for a greeting card. Thanks for asking
