Joya de Cerén

It is a pre-Columbian site of El Salvador located near San Juan Opico and Las Flores, in the department of La Libertad, in the central region of El Salvador. It was inhabited at least since the year 400 by an agricultural town tributary of San Andrés and was abandoned around the year 600 because of the eruption of the Caldera Lagoon. The site allows to appreciate the daily life of a Mayan agriculturalist village of 1400 years ago (seventh century), the only known in El Salvador.
