Pictured are several "bohíos", thatched palm wood huts used by the pre-Colombian indians of Cuba. This photographed is interesting in that one can see how the use of the bohios has progressed. The bohio on the right represents how they would have been used by the early indian population, while the one on the left of it is a more developed stage. The one on the left has walls, an idea developed by the Spanish that moved to the countryside and used the indian bohio, yet adapted ideas used in the dwellings that they were more familiar with.

This photograph shows the rope making process in greater detail. Once the strands are attached to the wooden, they are stretched out. As the man at the very end pulls and turns his end the girl holding the wooden panel in the middle makes sure that the rope is kept straight and does not get tangled. This process, which is common for rope making generally uses three or four strands that are twisted into rope with a hand operated rope machine such as the one pictured. The photograph also shows two men at the very end with the plank, a girl holding the wooden panel and a man taking a break under the shade of a nearby tree.
