The Maya ruins of Tazumal, considered the most important and best preserved in El Salvador, are in the town of Chalchuapa. In the Quiché language the name Tazumal means 'pyramid where the victims were burned.' The excavated ruins on display here are only one part of a zone covering 10 sq km (4 sq mi), much of it buried under the town. Archaeologists estimate that the first settlements in the area were around 5000 BC. The excavated structures date from a period spanning over 1000 years. The artifacts found at Tazumal provide evidence of ancient and active trade between Tazumal and places as far away as Panama and Mexico.
Chalchuapa is 76km (47mi) northwest of San Salvador, about a two hour ride by bus, usually via the town of Santa Ana. Leave a Comment

If you´re planning for a vacation trip, El Salvador is a beautiful country in terms of weather, clothing, equipment and entertainment, the country can be divided in natural zones according to their characteristics.
The west, marks the southeastern limit of the Mayan world. Ruins like El Tazumal and Joya de Cerén show the grandiose structure and a community buried 1,500 years ago. You can also enjoy the roadside views, the Coatepeque and Guija Lakes, the Montecristo natural park, the Imposible Natural Reserve and some others.
The Central,shows the natural beauty of the country. You can find La Laguna Botanical Garden, Los Chorros (it served as background for the Miss Universe beauty pageant)
The East shows the high-spirit hospitality of the people who live in the countryside.
So visit my country I bet you will be amazed about El Salvador.
We Salvadoreans love to party....we are also very friendly with foreigners so it will be easy for you to make friends. If you come to El Salvador I am sure you will never forget this country. Leave a Comment

Mercado Central in San Salvador. Typical Central American market with lots of food you won't see other places (like garrobos - iguanas). Leave a Comment

One of the things that will let you know your in El Salvador is the people there. Indeed they are among the friendliest people around. After that the scenery (mountains, mountains, mountains, ohh! and volcanoes, volcanoes, and volcanoes).

The Chalatenango Department was a backer during El Salvador’s civil war of the rebel fighters the KMLN. During this period the United States was backing the government troops with supplies as well as some Army Special Forces personnel. Over the years of fighting there were over 70,000 deaths (with about 40,000 of those being civilians). The government troops were known to go into villages in Chalatenango Department and indiscriminately kill all the residents (women and children included). During the conflict the US lost 16 Special Forces soldiers. The treaty that ended the war was signed only 8 years ago, back in 1992. So, there are many bridges to mend in this region. The US has an image problem that is still fresh in the minds of many El Salvadorians. During our travels we always had an armed escort. All in all the reception we received was warm and welcoming. Poverty is rampant, with over fifty percent unemployment, so we were providing the residents with things they could not afford.
Spending the days with the children. They were always smiling and happy to see us. We had a lot of help from a group of kids who guided us to different sites. Leave a Comment
