Coronado, Panama

The first colonial estates were established in Anton and in the Region of Llanos del Chirú (modern Coronado), with an economic system that included the use of slavery.

The region included large prairies bordering the Pacific Ocean and became the site of the first legal possession of land in Panama.

This route was used by pirates, smugglers, fugitives, and road thieves among others that pillaged towns, set up ambushes, and favored the opening of the closed Hispanic trade route on the Coasts of the South Pacific, where Coronado had a singular position during colonial times.

It is south of Altos de Campana National park, a part of a stretch of forested mountains and hills north of Coronado.

It is located on the Arco Seco (dry arch) notably named on the remarkably low precipitation rates in the region.
