Itinerary

  1. Joya de Ceren Archaeological Park

    one hour Admission included

    We start the day with a visit to the only Salvadoran World Heritage Site by

    UNESCO. Buried by volcanic ash in the 7th century, this ancient Mayan village remained

    incredibly preserved, providing an authentic portrait of everyday pre-Hispanic life.

  2. Stop 2

    one hour Admission included

    We will explore this majestic ceremonial site that was capital

    regional level between the sixth and ninth centuries AD. We will tour its acropolis, squares, pyramid structures and the site museum, as we discover the political-religious power of Mayan elites in the Zapotitán Valley

  3. Parque Nacional El Boqueron

    one hour Admission included

    We moved to the top of the San Salvador volcano to enter El Boquerón National Park. Located more than 1,800 meters above sea level, it offers spectacular views of the main crater and its unique “Boqueroncito”. We will enjoy nature trails surrounded by native flora, cool climate and breathtaking scenery. A real contrast to the archaeological richness of the morning.
