Joya de Ceren.

Is a unique site in Mesoamerica by virtue of been a settlement that was kept on time, covered by the ashes of a volcanic eruptison. Joya de Cerén allows the visitants to know with detail the richness of the everyday life of the town settlers that lived there more than 1400 years ago. Here you can see houses and other structures and surrounding farmland. Perishable materials, such as seeds, wooden artifacts, basketry, and recipients made of tree gourds may here be studied. The information offered by Joya de Cerén has been revolutionary in understanding the daily life of the ancient Mayas.
