Joya de Ceren Archaeological ParkThe Mayan Route Tour offers a glimpse into one of humankind's most developed societies, the Mayan culture. Visit the archaeological site Joya de Ceren to learn more about this civilization. Known as the "Pompeii of America," Joya de Ceren was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993 for its significant contribution to understanding El Salvador's ancestors' daily lives. You can see a pre-Columbian Mayan farming town at the location, which has been remarkably preserved thanks to multiple layers of volcanic ash from an eruption around AD 600.
-
After that, you'll go to the San Andres archeological site, which was a significant ceremonial and political hub with a number of buildings used by the governors during the period. The most iconic building is number 5, often called "La Campana" because of its unusual shape. The Indigo constructions were nearly completely preserved when the Playón volcano erupted in 1658 AD, burying the site.
-
Santa AnaWe will go to Santa Ana in the afternoon, which is considered to be one of El Salvador's most significant cities during the "golden age of coffee." Santa Ana was the wealthiest city in the nation during that time. You will go on a panoramic tour that includes stops at the Theater, the Municipal Palace, and the stunning church, which was built to resemble a Gothic church rather than the Spanish Colonial architecture found in most other cathedrals in El Salvador and Latin America.
-
TazumalLast but not least, take a guided tour through the Tazumal archeological site, which is close to Chalchuapa town and features the largest pyramid in El Salvador. There are sculptures and metal objects that are exclusive to El Salvador that have been discovered at this sophisticated and significant archaeological site.
-
San SalvadorFinally, we will return to San Salvador to drop off all our guests at their hotel. The tour starts and finishes at the same place where we pick you up.
