About

The Cihuatán Archaeological Park in El Salvador is a captivating glimpse into ancient Mesoamerican life, located just 36.5 km from San Salvador. Highlights include the vast Acropolis, thought to have been home to nobles, and a fortified ceremonial center that held significant religious and social importance. The panoramic views from La Campana Pyramid are breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the Guazapa Volcano. One of the standout features of the park is its Antonio Sol Museum, which houses artifacts, ceramics, and fascinating displays that help bring this ancient city to life. Visitors can enjoy guided tours that take about 45 minutes, and for a more leisurely experience, there is a small café offering refreshments—a perfect spot to relax after exploring the vast ruins and reflecting on the grandeur of Cihuatán.
