See pre-colombian artifacts of the Barriles culture at the private Finca Landau near the town of Volcan in Chiriqui, just 20 minutes from us at Los Quetzales. This is a tour of one of the most important pre-columbian collections in Central America and is offered in English by Mr. and Mrs. Landau in their beautifully landscaped garden at the foothils of Volcan Baru.
The Barriles culture is thought to have spanned across Costa Rica and Western Panama until roughly 600AD when Volcan Baru erupted, causing a scattering of the culture and consequent decline thereafter. For more information and to pre-arrange a visit and tour visit their website here.
