Beautiful wild Salvadoran-Guatemalan freshwater lake with pre-Columbian ceramics and archaeological remains
On the northeastern border of El Salvador, this beautiful wild freshwater lake is part Salvadoran, part Guatemalan. In the Salvadoran part, which covers some 32 square kilometers, there are several islets: Teotipa, Cerro de Tule and Iguatepec. Excavations in 1924 uncovered pre-Columbian ceramics and little-known archaeological remains such as Azacualpa, on the island of Teotipa, and Igualtepec. Today, many birds can still be found here, including the quetzal. The lake is surrounded by the extinct volcanoes Mita, San Diego and Cerro Quemado.
