The archaeological site of Joya de Cerén to date is the only World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO on December 11, 1993. This site shows the daily life of a village from the Late Classic Period that was buried by the eruption of the Loma Caldera Volcano, approximately by 650 AD.

The San Andrés archaeological site is located in the Zapotitán valley, just five kilometers from Joya de Cerén. The site comprises an acropolis, which is an architectural space in which activities restricted to a special group of people, possibly led by the ruling elite, were carried out.

The Tazumal complex has a series of buildings, mostly made of stone and earth. Likewise, residence complexes from the early Postclassic period (900 AD-1200 AD) are found in the surrounding area.

The Salto de Malacatiupán is a thermal water waterfall. Malacatiupán is a word of Nahuat origin that means: Round Temple. Its greatest attraction is the three thermal water waterfalls, located between natural rock formations and abundant vegetation, each approximately 12 meters high, which form a pool with turquoise water.
