El Caño Archaeological Park & La Tavida Waterfall
[product_page id=”12255″]
ABOUT THE TOUR
In the morning your guide will meet you at your hotel lobby and take you west to the Penonome Province where you will visit El Caño Archaeological Park and the amazing Tavida Waterfall.
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. The mounds turned out to be Native American tombs of “middle-class” individuals, buried there between 500 and 1550 A.D.
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 in the middle of the cloud forest surrounded by pristine nature and you will be able to take a swim, sit under the waterfall and relax while getting the good fresh vibes from nature and regain the vital energy. After this great experience your guide will take you back to your hotel.
