El Caño Archaeological Park

Coclé Province, Panama

El Caño is a pre-Columbian archaeological site and funerary complex in Coclé province, Panama, notable for its stone monuments, burial mounds, and evidence of complex social structures. Occupied from around 100–400 BC until Spanish colonization, the site has yielded elaborate burials, gold artifacts, and insights into the Gran Coclé culture. Initial excavations began in the 1920s, with major discoveries in the 2000s revealing a necropolis of high-status individuals. Excavations are ongoing, and some artifacts from El Caño are housed in Panama City's Anthropology Museum.
