Ojeda, arriving in Curaçao in 1499, lands also on a neighboring island that is almost certainly Bonaire, whose earliest known inhabitants are the Caquetio.
Archaeological remains of Caquetio culture have been found at certain sites northeast of Kralendijk and near Lac Bay.
Caquetio rock paintings and petroglyphs have been preserved in caves at Spelonk, Onima, Ceru Pungi, and Ceru Crita-Cabai.
The Caquetios are apparently a very tall people, for the Spanish name for today’s ABC Islands is 'las Islas de los Gigantes' or 'the islands of the giants.'
