The history behind the mounds and monoliths of El Caño is as intriguing as that of Stonehenge in England. However, a number of clues at Panama’s first in-situ museum have given archaeologists a partial picture of one of the most prosperous pre-Columbian, Native American cultures. Covering an area of eight hectares, El Caño Archaeological Site (which bears the name of a tiny community located 176 km south west of Panama City) was discovered by accident in the 1970’s when the tractors and bulldozers of a sugar cane milling company unearthed a number of pre-Hispanic artifacts. After almost a decade of excavations and studies, archaeologists discovered a large number of mounds surrounded by a circular row of huge stones.
After this amazing visit your guide will take you up north to the Penonome Highlands to el Tavidal at Chiguiri Arriba where you will enjoy a delicious traditional lunch and later a short hike to La Tavida, a breathtaking 32 meters high waterfall.
