The San Andrés Archaeological Park, located less than 20 miles from downtown San Salvador, is a former Mayan site and one of the largest pre-Spanish ruins in El Salvador. Unearthed in 1977, the park features ruined houses and an acropolis, offering visitors a tangible connection to the civilization that thrived between 600 and 900 AD. An on-site museum provides additional context and artifacts, allowing guests to delve deeper into the history and daily life of this ancient community.
