Copán
There are many reasons to visit Copan in the western region of Honduras, starting with the Main Archaeological Site including the Maya Sculpture Museum, which you can visit in a half day, or if you want to go a little more deeper you can also venture into the tunnels showing the temples the Maya built and buried in successive layers. For a longer stay, you can also visit Las Sepulturas, a residential area just beside the main site. There are plenty of other choices such as the Macaw Mountain Bird Park, Copan Coffee Tour, Luna Jaguar Hot Springs, and many more activities related to the daily life in this quaint little town.
Starting early in the morning at your hotel in Copán –around 5 minutes from the site, or from Tablones Airstrip in Guatemala –a 20 minutes ride thru a nice road across the border through enchanting rural scenes and forested mountains. Upon arrival to the Ruins, bilingual guided tour of the Main Archaeological Site.
Your tour begins high in the mountains, at the plant nursery where young plants are nurtured until they are ready to become a part of the Finca. From here you will wander down the well groomed trails that meander through the lush, green foliage of the rainforest canopy. You will be awestruck by the breathtaking beauty of the tropical rainforest and be able to observe the abundant bird and butterfly populations. We will show you the growing, harvesting, and processing from bean to cup.
The Macaw Mountain Bird Park & Nature Reserve is an innovative tropical bird reserve in Copán Ruinas that cares for rescued and endangered birds of the American tropics. It offers a first class experience in an unspoiled part of the world. Here you learn about and interact with the intelligent, colorful birds of Central America.
