Copan Ruinas
Copán is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and detail. Explore the site's impressive network of underground tunnels, walk beneath the famous Hieroglyphic Stairway, adorned with over 2,000 Maya glyphs and considered one of the longest known Maya texts, and admire the elaborately carved stelae and plazas that reflect the site's artistic sophistication. One of the most fascinating aspects of visiting Copán is learning about its royal lineage, including rulers with names like "18 Rabbit" (Waxaklajuun Ubʼaah Kʼawiil), one of the site's most notable kings. Your guide will share the stories and history behind these ancient rulers, bringing the site's carvings and monuments to life. To reach Copán, travelers cross the border from Guatemala into Honduras, so a valid passport is required. The archaeological site is located just 10 kilometers from the border, making it an accessible cross-border day trip.
