Overview

One of the most remarkable Classic Maya archaeological sites in Central America, Copán Ruins is located in western Honduras, overlooking a tributary of the Motagua River. This iconic destination is reached on a scenic 4-hour drive from San Salvador, making it an ideal full-day cultural experience.

Copán is considered one of the most artistically refined cities of the ancient Maya civilization, renowned for its finely carved stone temples, ceremonial plazas, altars, underground tunnels, ball court, stelae, and the famous Hieroglyphic Stairway, the longest known Maya inscription.

Flourishing between 400 and 800 A.D., Copán was a major political and cultural center before its sudden abandonment. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering visitors a deep and immersive journey into ancient Maya history, architecture, and symbolism, guided by expert local insight.
