CLICK ON A PYRAMID TO VISIT A MAYA SITE
El Salvador, the smallest country along the Maya route in Central America,  has a number of ancient Maya archaeological sites, some dating back to the 3rd century BC. The Mayan village of Joya de Cerén (a UNESCO World Heritage site) was buried under volcanic ash 1400 years ago.

Close to the capital city of San Salvador is the San Andrès region, whose fertile soil once housed Mayan settlements and whose architectural jewel, the acropolis, is a highlight on the Maya world trail. The step-pyramid ruins at Tazumal and San Andrés show that the Maya lived in western El Salvador for over 1000 years.

El Salvador's earliest people lived between 300BC and 1200AD at Chalchuapa in the Tazumal region, 78km (46 miles) from San Salvador. During this period, five important ceremonial centres were built: Pampe, El Trapiche, Las Victorias, Casablanca and the beautiful ruins at Tazumal, which boasts structures over 30m (90 ft) high and a ball court where the Maya practiced an unusual sporting rite. Other interesting sites include the pre-Columbian Tehuacán site near San Vicente; the monumental Santa Letìcía sculptures near the town of San Miguel; and the pre-Columbian village of Quelepa, also in San Miguel.
