Touring the ancient ruins in Copan

Best Things to Do in Copan

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Copan

Sometimes called the “Paris of the Mayan World,” the Mayan ruins at Copan are the top tourist attraction in Honduras. Copan reached the height of its influence from the 5th to 9th centuries AD, and features pyramids, temples, and stone carvings. It can be combined with a tour of Tikal, the premier Mayan ruin in neighboring Guatemala. For safety reasons and historical insights, it’s best to visit on a guided tour.

Overall a fantastic tour, particularly Nicaragua, El Salvador, Copan and Antigua. Would be 5 stars, but the Costa Rica section of the tour doesn't quite work at the moment. Other than that a great tour though, and Miguel was a fantastic tour leader. Would recommend

Fantastic tour covering five countries. Definitely “full on” with long journeys but amazing scenery and experiences. Miguel (tour guide) was awesome - friendly, knowledgable, and an expert at whisking us through the borders. Confident he would have coped with any crises with a smile. Highlights for me were Nicaragua (Granada, Leon, Cerro ***** volcano hike), Copan, and Antigua de Guatemala.

A great diversity in scenery a true tour of contrasts. Differences between countries from architecture to wildlife to unwinding on tropical beaches and exploring Mayan culture.
All this was brought about by having an extremely informative and organised leader in Tomas and the wonderful company of my fellow travellers.
