For many years the Panamanian population thought that this was in Panama, but with the advance archaeological discovery in the mid-fifties by the Colombian professor Graciliano Arcila Velez confirmed the exact location of the village, which is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history of Colombia (comparable to Tayrona Lost City in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta ). In 1957, King Leopold III of Belgium after abdicating the throne deploys an expedition on the site, but this time President Gustavo Rojas Pinilla finish the expedition called rumors of alleged looting the site. It is clear that Christopher Columbus in 1493 founded the first Iberian stable population in the New World on the island of the Spanish, now the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata in the current which he called La Isabela, in honor of the Queen sponsoring expeditions, city of which only ruins remain. The site becomes the first European population stable in the Americas.
