Sitio Barriles Museum

Barilles is one of the most famous archaeological sites in Panama. It is located in the highlands of the Chriquí Province of Western Panama at 1200 meters above sea level. It is several kilometers west of the modern town of Volcán. This places the site in the Gran Chiriquí culture area. Barriles is one of the few archaeological sites in Panama regularly accessible to the public. The northwestern portion of the site is accessible to the public through the Landau finca, who have a variety of artifacts on display in their yard, in the walls of a fake excavation block, and in a small private museum.
