Parque Arqueológico Tazumal is a pivotal pre-Columbian Mayan archaeological site in El Salvador, easily accessible by road from major cities, though specific structures may not be fully wheelchair friendly. While solo visits are possible with informational panels, hiring a local guide on-site is highly recommended to fully grasp the historical and cultural significance. The site is open year-round, but the dry season (November to April) offers the most comfortable visiting conditions, avoiding afternoon rains common during the wet season. Entrance typically costs around $5-6 USD for foreigners, with a visit usually lasting 1-2 hours. It's advisable to bring water, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes, and consider combining the visit with nearby attractions like Casa Blanca or Lake Coatepeque.
