The excavations brought extraordinary examples of Olmec art, with sculptures as most spectacular ones (inlucluding famous Olmec heads carved in volcanic rocks). The remains of Tres Zapotes are in relatively poor condition now, preserved as group of large mounds, but the most important sculptures are gathered in small museum in the centre of the village. The easiest way to reach Tres Zapotes is minibus from Santiago Tuxtla.
