Summary

 Audio Journeys are exploring the ancient ruins of a Mayan village in El Salvador. Twenty kilometers northwest of San Salvador the capital of El Salvador is the 650 year old village of Joya de Ceren, the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in El Salvador. What makes this site very unique is that the everyday life of the Mayans was preserved when around 600 A.D. a volcano erupted spewing volcanic ashes that covered the land, caused the common people to flee their homes.©2009 Travel Radio International Audio Journeys (TM) (P)2009 Travel Radio International Audio Journeys (TM) Adventure Travel Guided Tours Social Sciences

Editor reviews

Sometimes referred to as "The Pompeii of the Americas", Joya de Ceren is the only UNESCO World Heritage site in El Salvador. Formerly a small farming community, as early as even the 13th century BC, it was evacuated in the 3rd century AD after the eruption of a nearby volcano. Because of weather conditions and ash consistency, the town has been remarkable well preserved. In this Audio Journey, host Patricia L. Lawrence tells us about the sites around town. As always, Lawrence is both friendly and informative, a real pleasure to have as a travel companion.
