Visit the southernmost Mayan city : San Andres and the world heritage site of Copan Ruins in one single trip.
San Andrés is a pre-Hispanic Mayan site of El Salvador, whose long occupation began around 900 BC. C. as an agricultural town in the Zapotitán valley of the department of La Libertad. This early settlement was vacated by the year 250 because of the huge eruption of the caldera of Lake Ilopango, and was again occupied in the fifth century, along with many other sites in the Zapotitán Valley. Between 600 and 900 d. C. San Andrés was the capital of a Mayan manor with supremacy over the other settlements of the Valley.
Once in Copán your guide will highlight the most important moments of this city-state where its habitats develop a unique form of sculpture and carving.
