Joya de Ceren Archaeological Park

First of all this is an archaeological site completely different from a Mayan temple. Joya de Ceren is the remains of a Mayan agricultural village of about 1400 years old. Loma Caldera volcanos covered it by 14 layers of ashes. The ash that covered Joya de Ceren preserved it intact. Allowing to preserve in time the different structures, which now give us a broad vision of what life was like and the activities of ordinary people. In the different archaeological sites of mesoamerica, you can see in the temples how the important people of the time lived. But only Joya de Ceren lets you see how the town lived. Among the things found are: houses, storage rooms, communal houses, temazcal sauna, kitchen, corn plantations, etc

San Andres will be our second point to visit in this itinerary. Probably Joya de Ceren inhabitants used this ceremonial political center to pay tribute. Because they are only 5 km away from each other. It has also been cataloged as a Mayan lordship that ruled over the area probably from 500 AD to 900 AD. The place is divided into two areas, the first called La Gran Plaza, which was the commercial and residential area of the area. Here is also the largest pyramid on this site, called La Campana. The second part of this site is the Acropolis. This was the ceremonial and exclusive area where there are 4 Pyramids and 2 basal constructions that were considered a place of residence for rulers. Studies have shown that San Andres had business alliances with other important contemporary Mayan cities such as Copan, Teotihuacan, even with Belize and El Peten.

Eco tours exceeded all our expectations! Herbert was an outstanding tour guide, but an even nicer person! We were a family of 5 - four adults and one child. He came on time to pick us up at our Airbnb (this is a huge difference from other tours that ask you to arrive at a meeting location). In route to our first stop, he gave a great background and history of El Salvador including money, language and ancestry. Our day was long but extremely pleasant. On the way home, we asked to stop at the historical center. For a small up charge, Herbert not only went out of his way 25 minutes BUT waited for us and then safely brought us back to our Airbnb. This was customer service at its finest. I would highly recommend this tour company that really makes you feel like you’re traveling with family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The communication with Eco Tours was smooth, they respond to your message in a timely manner. My guide - Herbert was amazing! He was very nice and explained so many things on the tour. He’s very easy going, learned lots of things from him as well. Had a great tour today, and if I’m back next time will definitely book again.

Our guide was great. I speak Spanish but I wanted an English guide so my daughter could learn as well. His English was great and he was so knowledgeable. He provided great information and answer all of our questions. He was very friendly and I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting El Salvador and wanting to learn more about its culture origins.

This was a fantastic experience. I learned so much history and even a few words in Nahuat courtesy of Herbert our guide. The itinerary was well organized - we started with Joya de Cerén, followed by las Ruinas de San Andres, and ended with Tazumal. History buffs will love this tour.
Fantastic! Above and beyond!

Os (our guide and driver) was beyond fantastic! His knowledge of all things tour related, El Salvador related, and Meso-America related was vast and deep. Os was friendly, personable, and went above and beyond the normal driver/guide duties. It was like having a friend who happened to be a college professor be our guide! Highly, highly recommend!
