Awesome tour guide - I love visiting ancient ruins. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable! He showed us a rock with human carvings on it from 3,000 years ago. It’s super interesting to get a glimpse in to what life was like for them. Our tour guide went above and beyond to help me when I thought I lost my hotel room key. He even called my hotel twice for me to get things straightened out. The place they took us to for lunch—- my food was delicious! The tour driver even got our group free mangos.

Great way to see more than San Salvador - It was a great trip to Joya de Cerén and San Andres. It was interesting to see the sites from hundreds of years ago. I learned a lot from Adonis, our guide. The lunch spot had a great view of the lake.
