tourist destination with cultural attractiveness

San Andrés is a pre-Hispanic Mayan site in El Salvador, whose long occupation began around 900 B.C. as an agricultural village in the Zapotitán Valley of the Department of La Libertad. This early settlement was unoccupied by 250 B.C. because of the massive eruption of the Lake Ilopango caldera, and was reoccupied in the 5th century, along with many other sites in the Zapotitán Valley. Between 600 and 900 A.D. San Andrés was the capital of a Mayan lordship with supremacy over the other settlements in the Valley.
