Then it languished in a feral forest for the last 1,000

The 5,000 acres of El Pilar hosts 7 culture and nature trails that wind
through the ancient monuments. A ranger’s house, 8 comfort stations,
one large picnic area, many thatched overlooks, and signage define the
visitor experience under the canopy at El Pilar. For a glimpse of the
