What To Expect

Join us on the thrilling Maya Route Tour and step back in time

Kick off your adventure at Joya de Cerén, the "Pompeii of the Americas." This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers an incredible glimpse into everyday Mayan life, perfectly preserved under volcanic ash since 600 AD.

Next, we journey to San Andrés, a once-thriving political and ceremonial center. Marvel at the impressive structures, including the iconic "La Campana" pyramid, buried by volcanic activity in 1658 AD and now a captivating window into the past.

In the afternoon, we’ll visit the charming city of Santa Ana, renowned for its prosperity during El Salvador’s "Golden Age of Coffee." Enjoy a scenic tour of the city’s highlights, including the majestic Gothic-style Cathedral, the grand Municipal Palace, and the historic Theatre.

Our final stop is Tazumal, near Chalchuapa. Here, you'll find El Salvador’s largest pyramid and discover a treasure trove of unique sculptures and artifacts from this sophisticated ancient city.
