Tazumal.

 Tazumal includes a series of structures which where the scenery of an important and sophisticated Mayan settlement that existed between 400 dC and 1200 DC. The vestiges include 2 pyramids, a ball court and other structures. During its apogee, it was a Mayan Regional Center, and even if the site has been destroyed by Chalchuapa´s new settlement, some history has been able to be rescue. In Chalchuapa or “River of Little Jades” in Nahuatl language, you find jade workshops and clay workshops where copies of archaeological vestiges are made. Chalchuapa also lodges a beautiful colonial church that has a small museum and Casa Blanca archaeological site.
