Art of the Americas

Calima culture

Calima culture (200 BCE–400 CE) is a series of pre-Columbian cultures from the Valle del Cauca in Colombia. The four societies that successively occupied the valley and make up Calima culture are the Ilama, Yotoco, Sonso, and Malagana cultures. The Calima Darién Archaeological Museum and the Calima Gold Museum feature artifacts from the Calima culture.
