Tazumal Archaeological Park
Monumental remains form part of a long-lived settlement at Chalchuapa.

The story behind the place
Tazumal sits within the wider archaeological landscape of Chalchuapa in western El Salvador. Visible monumental structures and less visible domestic areas preserve evidence of a community influenced by connections with other Mesoamerican peoples. The site's role during the Classic period forms one part of Chalchuapa's much longer history of occupation.
