El Caño Archeological Park

This interesting place is located in the community of El Caño, District of Natá. This area has perhaps the most abundant concentration of Pre-Columbian remains discovered by archeologists to date.

The discovery of the area dates back to the year 1924, when a North American collector of PreColumbian pieces found hundreds of blocks of stones and columns carved with anthropomorphus images at the site. From the location of the artifacts that were found, the place was called "The Temple of the Thousand Idols " or " Sites of the Temple ".

During the 20′s, more than 500 specimens of lithic ceramic fragments and whole megaliths were found.
