San Andres

San Andres is a prehispanic Maya site of El Salvador, whose long occupation began around 900 a. C.

San Andrés is a small Maya site just off the Panamerican Highway (CA-1). It has been excavated several times and the main acropolis is cleared. Since FUNDAR began to adiminster the site in May, 2005, security has been heightened and many improvements made. The Acropolis and the Great Plaza and are now open to visitors. The Campana is so fragile that, unless we can put a steel stair like the one at Cihuatán in, it will have to be viewed only from the Plaza. Access to the ruins is controlled for visitor safety and is through the museum. The 17th century indigo processing facility has been 

excavated and is also open to visitors.
