Description of the Tour

The Great Metropolis: Archaeological Site Cihuatan

We begin our tour by visiting Cihuatán, whose name means "City of Women". It is considered one of the most extensive archaeological sites in El Salvador, with an area of approximately 3 square kilometers. We will explore its ceremonial center, which includes the impressive main pyramid, ball game and acropolis. This place was a vibrant city and a crucial trading center, and walking among its structures allows us to imagine the magnitude of the civilization that inhabited it.
