Calima culture (200 BCE–400 CE) is a series of pre-Columbian cultures from the Valle del Cauca in Colombia.[1]

The four societies that successively occupied the valley and make up Calima culture are the Ilama, Yotoco, Sonso, and Malagana cultures.[1]

The Calima Darién Archaeological Museum and the Calima Gold Museum feature artifacts from the Calima culture.[1]
