It is considered one of the most extensive archaeological sites in El Salvador, with an area of approximately 3 square kilometers. We will explore its ceremonial center, which includes the impressive main pyramid, ball game and acropolis. This place was a vibrant city and a crucial trading center, and walking among its structures allows us to imagine the magnitude of the civilization that inhabited it.
