Copan
Ruinas is a tranquil oasis of ancient culture and sublime
nature nestled in the foothills of western Honduras,
just 7 miles from the Guatemala border. For years, Copán
has been renowned for its magnificent Maya Ruins, a
designated World Heritage Site believed by archeologists
to be the cultural center, or the "Paris,"
of the Maya world. The town of Copán Ruinas is
a beautiful little village paved in cobblestone and
lined with white adobe buildings with red-tile roofs.
In addition to the world-class Maya ruins, horseback
riding to Hacienda San Lucas, a visit to the tropical
bird park, and special presentation by resident archaeologists
are all possible at Copan. |
