Guavate is a barrio in the municipality of Cayey, Puerto Rico.

[3][4][5] Guavate was in Spain's gazetteers[6] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States.

In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Beatriz and Guavate barrios was 853.

[7] Guavate is known for its "pork highway" (a stretch of Puerto Rico Highway 184) and was featured in the Discover Puerto Rico tourism campaign of 2019 for being a must-see place in Puerto Rico because of its tender pork cuisine, mild weather and scenic views of Sierra de Cayey.
