Joya de Ceren Archaeological Park
Visit the ancient Maya village of Joya de Cerén, a UNESCO World Heritage Site remarkably preserved beneath volcanic ash. Often called the "Pompeii of the Americas," it offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary Maya people. Unlike most Maya archaeological sites, which feature mainly temples and ceremonial structures, Joya de Cerén preserves homes, workshops, and community buildings, making it one of the most unique sites in the Maya world.
