Copanis an undoubted highlight of Honduras and one of the finest sites of the Mayan world.  It is considered to be the ‘Paris’ of Mayan cities with superb quality statues, carvings and decorative features making it the artistic capital.  Copan marks the southern limit of Mayan dominance and is therefore the only site of note within Honduras.

OUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN COPAN

COPAN MUSEUM

Unlike other Mayan sites the museum at Copan is excellent, containing some of the best sculptures as well as an impressive full scale replica of the Rosalila temple, brightly painted as it would have been originally

GUIDED TOUR

A guided tour of the ruins will help to build up a picture and insight into this wonderful Mayan city. Of particular importance are the 21 free-standing 3 metre stones or stelae where the passage of time was originally believed to have been recorded, giving an unparalleled insight into the Mayan calendar.

HORSE RIDING

Once you have seen Copan and the museum, it is worth hanging around a little longer and taking a ride into the surrounding area.  here you will discover low lying mountains as well as remains from the Mayan world.
