Ancient Village in Yoro Department.
The ancient site of Puerto Escondido was continuously occupied from 900BC to 1000AD. The buildings found appear to have been large farmsteads; not the more substantial public buildings associated with Mesoamerican towns and cities.
Unfortunately it appears that the excavations done at the site under the supervision of UC Berkeley and Cornell have been to collect data prior to land development. The protection of the site is unknown.
Note: Ancient farming village with a chocolaty past.
