To show the type of daily life of the Coclesan man, the Museum was instituted with
an extensive collection of archaeological pieces from the archaeological site. The
Museum was inaugurated in 1979 in a Spanish colonial style built house located on
the grounds of the archaeological site in front of the existing mortuary mounds in the
Park.
The Archaeological Park has two archaeological areas: the structure of basaltic
Ceremonial Columns, some of them carved (several of them are in the Museum of
the American Indian, in New York), and the Mortuary Mounds, mounds of earth of
funeral type.
The Caño is a very rich site and the ongoing research seeks to determine the origin
and evolution of these societies, how they moved from equal tribes and societies to
rank societies.
History:
The site was declared an archaeological heritage and is opened to the public in 1979
as the Archaeological Park of El Caño, duly protected by law. After, US scientists
through the modern technique of infrared rays will locate other pre-Columbian burials
of the area and excavate an entire tomb, whose treasures and pieces in ceramics,
gold, bones and stones, are on the premises of the Museum itself allowing visitors
to make an interpretation of the life of the area's pre-Columbian man.

El Caño Archaeological Park is located in an area that is located in one of the regions
of the Isthmus, more favorable for a human settlement, supported by a productive
agricultural base. The region is located near the Pacific, where you can find a dry
and rainy season, which is considered to be benevolent to the community. This
community has the essential services of water and electricity.
