Tibes is a mountainous rural barrio located in the central section of the municipality, north of the city of Ponce.[3] Tibes is located on the foothills of the Cordillera Central. The toponymy, or origin of the name, is related to the hard, smooth stones plentiful in the rivers of this barrio and used by the indigenous peoples of the area as a weapon and the jíbaro countrymen for sharpening agricultural tools such as the machete.[4] Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017 causing catastrophic damages. Some residents of Tibes were cut off for 3 months, unable to find passage from their homes due to blocked roadways.[5]

Tibes is bounded on the North by the hills just north of El Principe Road, on the South by Tibes Road, on the West by the hills west of PR-10, and on the East by Pastillo Road, the hills west of Río Chiquito.[6][7]
