Tazumal was a one of the first major Salvadorean sites to be scientifically excavated, by Stanley H. Boggs, who started the first of several field  seasons in 1943. The site is surrounded by the modern city of Chalchuapa and, unfortunately, not much of the site was purchased for the archaeological park.

What you see today is the large pyramid, with its many remodelings and additions, and the ball court, badly damaged by its many years as part of the city cementery. The Tazumal park also contains the large Olmec rock carving from finca Las Victorias.
