About Copán
Copán is Honduras's greatest Mayan treasure—a site of carved stelae and elaborate stone sculpture that rivals Tikal in artistic achievement. The ruins sit in a lush valley with surrounding villages and countryside. Unlike Tikal's jungle setting, Copán is more accessible and less crowded, offering genuine archaeological experience.
