Edna, is caring for an amazing piece of history about times long since past. How did the ancients discover lodestones without iron for it to attract? We consider this a place to take guests who want more than a gawk and go experience. Amazing that two cultures could co-exist without conflict so long ago. Go visit and see what I mean.

There seems to be great history to be learned here. The caretakers were very passionate about the property and its richness. Worth making a decent donation. I do not think this place gets as many visitors as it deserves.

My husband and I and two friends from the US visited this museum today. My husband and I have been here before at least three other times over the past seven years. Every time we come back Edna has made improvements on the property and has new information to share. It is such a pleasure to have the opportunity to visit this unique site in Panama and we always enjoy bringing our guests here. Edna does a great job of taking you on an historical tour of the area. I highly recommend this tour for a slice of Panama history that you won't find anywhere else in Panama.

If you are in the area, drop in to see this museum. First, though, you need to get your image of a typical "museum" out of your head or you may be disappointed. This is a family-run historical site on their own property. From what I understand, the first artifact was discovered by the family in the roots of a huge tree when it blew over. Subsequently, they did a lot of digging and found numerous other artifacts and burial grounds. Very fascinating!

This is an exceptional site. The artifacts are on site, and many are in situ. 5,000 years of habitation. Surprisingly, there is strong evidence African and Asian cultures lived side by side in perfect harmony during some of the time the site was occupied. The guide, whose American grandfather bought the land for coffee farming long ago, is well educated and exceptionally knowledgeable. This was the highlight of my entire trip to Panama! I LOVED this place.

Sadly the best parts of Sitio Barriles are in the National Museum in Panama City. Fortunately, I have seen the great and mysterious treasures that came from Barriles. Hopefully the government will one day return theseamazing statues back to Barriles where they belong, and then this museum will be an even more amazing place to vist and experience.

This is a great attraction that is run by a family who has been on the finca for generations. Don't miss this!

I do not know much about archaeological sites in Panama, but having been to many worldwide I can say that this one is below average.

I was there in 2008, not 2012. I have a background in anthropology with just a bit of archeology, but I was impressed with the care the private owners had taken to not just "dig things up." It appeared that the excavations had been conducted in a professional manner.

Sitio Barriles is a major archeological repository of a now extinct native culture, the site was discovered in the early 20th century but was subsequently extensively plundered with the majority of the artifacts ending in Panama City museums or private collections.Mr. Landau the property owner where most of the site now falls, has done an excellent job in preserving the current site remaining artifacts and setting up property tours where the dig sites can be seen, beautifully landscaped gardens where native trees have been replanted to resemble the original landscape of virgin forest.Although not an official state site, the property is under regulation by the Panama National Heritage Board and frequently hosts digs by the National University of Chiriqui. For 3 dollars each the tours of the site are well worth it. The presentation is in Spanish so make sure you take a Spanish speaking friend along, in case you don't have one pick the 4 dollar tour per car where you can wander the site by yourself and take pics.
