Tehuacán, Archaeological site in San Vicente Department, El Salvador
The archaeological complex contains multiple stone terraces, pyramidal structures, a ball court, and extended platforms at 460 meters elevation.
The site developed during the Late Classic period and maintained close connections with the Quelepa settlement, sharing both Shila and Lepa phase occupations.
The ceremonial structures and ball court within Tehuacán reflect the architectural traditions and social practices of Mesoamerican civilizations.
The Municipality of San Vicente manages the archaeological site and provides guided visits through the monumental zone with its preserved structures.
The site's terraced architecture adapts to the natural topography, creating an integrated complex of ceremonial and administrative buildings.
