In these routes, the tourist will experience the Salvadoran idiosyncrasy, its history at three times: pre-Columbian, colonial and republican.
We have archaeological sites like ceremonial centers with pre-Columbian pyramids, and slums; all of them were discovered in the last years.
Other routes are oriented to share the current Salvadoran culture in which the simplicity and warmth of the settlers is shown, the smiles and friendliness that characterize the people of El Salvador, making the tourist feel as if at home.
The crafts are still produced using ancestral methods.

CIHUATAN Cihuatán in nahuat language means “City of the Woman” reaches a large territory and was a ceremonial center. The “Ball court” facilities are evidence of one of the main ceremonial activities that the natives had here. The game was played with extremely elastic rubber balls. Other sites rich in traditional and ancestral crafts are: San Sebastián, Ilobasco, Guatajiagua, and Santo Domingo de Guzman.
