Description

Joya de Cerén Archaeological Site in El Salvador is a time capsule that transports us to a pre-Hispanic village frozen in time by a volcanic eruption. SayPro proudly celebrates this UNESCO World Heritage Site for its exceptional preservation, which offers a unique window into the daily life of the ancient Maya.
Often referred to as the “Pompeii of the Americas,” Joya de Cerén reveals the structures, artifacts, and even food remnants of a thriving village that existed over a thousand years ago. The volcanic ash that engulfed the village preserved its secrets, allowing archaeologists to piece together the story of its inhabitants.
SayPro commends El Salvador for its commitment to preserving Joya de Cerén and making it accessible to visitors. By supporting responsible tourism and conservation initiatives, we can help protect this archaeological treasure. Joya de Cerén Archaeological Site invites us to step back in time and connect with the lives of the people who once called it home.
