Discover Copan
Beyond the Ruins

Just 3 minutes from the ruins—but there’s far more beyond

Catch sunrise at Rastrojón, then explore temples and carved stelae at the impressive Copan Archaelogical Site and Sculpture Museum, interact with exotic birds at Macaw Mountain and witness why scarlet macaws now soar free, thanks to their rescue efforts. Add coffee farms and hot springs nearby, and you’ve got one challenge: fitting it all in.
