San Andrés & Joya de Cerén

SAN ANDRÉS & JOYA DE CERÉN
Embark on a fascinating archaeological journey through the lush Zapotitán Valley to reach one of El Salvador’s most remarkable historical treasures: Joya de Cerén, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the Pompeii of the Americas, this site preserves a Maya village frozen in time beneath volcanic ash, offering rare insight into the daily lives of ancient Mesoamerican people.

Just a few kilometers away, we’ll visit San Andrés, a pre-Columbian ceremonial and commercial center, where you’ll admire partially restored pyramids and ceremonial structures. Return to your hotel.
