thumb|View to the ruins being excavated in 1937. Travesía also known as Ulua-Yoja s is an important pre-Columbian archaeological sites in the Ulua river valley of Honduras.
== History == The city reached its largest size in the Late Classic (500-850) but was founded earlier. How early, we don't know because of the destruction of the site in the 20th century and subsequent looting to find pieces for the thriving illegal antiquities market. It is in the Cortés Department to the south east of San Pedro Sula, and should not be confused with the modern town of Travesía on the Caribbean coast.
