cocoa pods on the treeSan Andres, in Santa Ana, El Salvador, shows four good-sized Mayan structures. During the Spanish conquest San Andres was part of a colonial hacienda-type cattle farm. In modern times the Salvadoran government has created the San Andres archaeological park that includes a museum not limited to the Maya archeology, but shows examples of the colonial era. We saw the La Gran Plaza, an L-shaped complex which highlights Cerro Campana San Andrés. Most of the Maya business was done around this building.
