We really enjoyed exploring the museum. The path was marked well and the history plaques were also in English. It is a fascinating place to learn about prior cultures and events!

Very unique ruins with an excellent museum. Worth noting that the ruins are contained within a massive climate controlled shelter so this is an excellent site to visit during a hot day.

Full description

Put on your headphones and explore the layout of the prehistoric town, once buried under ashes, through the power of storytelling. Learn historical information about its affluent residences, known as Xeste, and little-known stories and anecdotes about the daily lives of its inhabitants.
The content of the tour is the result of in-depth research, distilled into brief original stories that will make your visit both engaging and educational. The audio tour can be used repeatedly and at any time, before or after your visit.
