Spanish colonists settled Arecibo in 1556, which they named for the cacique. Every tribe within the confederation was ruled by a chief or "cacique". The leader of each Pueblo would serve as the community religious leader, or "cacique". They were organized into "cacicazgos" (chiefdoms), each led by a "cacique" (chief). Saguamanchica broke this unity due to differences with the "cacique" of Guatavita. Paipa is named after the "cacique" (leader) of the Paipa people. Apart from the "cacique", other strata included priests and warriors. He killed or captured many, including the principal cacique Caonabo. Taganga was inhabited by the Taganga, under the leadership of a "cacique". They reported to the "Supreme Cacique", who during Jumacao's time was the Cacique Agueybana. Tundama was another "cacique" who had appeared ready to fight. He had a son named Baruta, himself a Cacique. The region was led by cacique Caguax. Nearby, there's a monument to Chief Hayuya, cacique of the region. The local natives blamed the trouble on a cacique from the interior named Caonabo.
