EL SALVADOR - Maya Route -

San Andres

San Andres is a pre-Columbian site whose occupation began around the year 900 BC as an agricultural town in the valley of Zapotitán. This early establishment was vacated by the year 250 because of the enormous eruption of the caldera of Lago Ilopango, and was occupied again in the 5th Century, along with many other sites in the valley of Zapotitán. Between 600 and 900 AD, San Andres was the capital of a Maya polity with supremacy over the other establishments of Valle de Zapotitán.
