What You Will Do

Immerse yourself in the heart of El Salvador’s rich Maya heritage with our Maya Route Tour, an adventure that takes you through some of the most breathtaking and historically significant sites in the country. Imagine stepping back in time as you explore the remarkable Joya de Cerén, known as the "Pompeii of the Americas," where a village frozen in time by volcanic ash reveals the everyday lives of the ancient Maya. Feel the awe of standing among the grand pyramids and ancient structures of San Andrés, a testament to the ingenuity and culture of the pre-Columbian era. Wander through the charming colonial city of Santa Ana, where history whispers through every cobblestone street and majestic building. The journey culminates with the awe-inspiring Tazumal, the largest Maya ruin in El Salvador. Here, the towering pyramids and intricate stonework transport you to a time of grandeur and mystery. This tour is a unique opportunity to experience the profound legacy of the Maya civilization.

It was a great trip to Joya de Cerén and San Andres. It was interesting to see the sites from hundreds of years ago. I learned a lot from Adonis, our guide. The lunch spot had a great view of the lake.
Great Experience! Must do!

Rimberto was a great driver and Raul was a super knowledgeable guide. Hot day so very happy the van we travelled in was air conditioned :). Glad we were able to make it on this tour to see some Mayan sites, lava rocks, and Lago de Coatepeque.
