Archaeological sites • Archaeological Park San Andres: The archaeological site San Andrés took its name from the old hacienda where it was. As owner of the San Andres estate, the Dueñas family generously endorsed access to the site to successive generations of researchers, starting in 1940 with the first project on the site, led by John Dimick. Even when the monumental area of the site began to be visited by tourists in the 1970s, the Dueñas allowed the use of the site as an incipient park managed by the Department of Archeology of the Cultural Heritage Administration (predecessor of CONCULTURA), with new research Led by Stanley Boggs, Jorge Mejía and Richard Crane.
