El Salvador
Located in the heart of Central America, El Salvador is the smallest and the most densely populated of these countries. A land of agriculture, the rich volcanic soil on the slopes of over 25 dormant volcanoes attracted the largest farms and, through time, the major population centers in the country established on these slopes. The lowlands and middle highlands are planted with coffee, which is the main crop, supplemented by cereal grains, cotton and sugar cane. El Salvador is also the world’s primary source of balsam which is used for perfumes and medicine.
El Salvador is an important part of the ancient Mayan world: impressive step pyramid ruins at Tazumal and San Andres testify to the once large and sophisticated Mayan civilization. Pre-Columbian culture in El Salvador has left many archeological sites, the most important being: Tazumal, the pyramids of Campana San Andres, the ball of Cihuatan, the Ruins of Quelepa and Cara Sucia, and Joya de Ceren, a well preserved Maya site with dwellings buried under 20 feet of volcanic ash clutter Together with Guatemala, Honduras, México and Belize, El Salvador is part of the “Mayan World Route”, a tourist itinerary that takes the visitor to the most important vestiges of Meso American history.
