Introduction
239km (148 miles) E of Guatemala City; 110km (68 miles) S of Río Hondo; 12km (7 1/2 miles) S of the Honduran border
Just past the Guatemalan border in Honduras lies Copán, one of the most spectacular Maya ceremonial cities of Mesoamerica. The town is a small picturesque city with rough cobblestone streets and a buzzing central plaza that's the heart and soul of the place. Copán is surrounded by beautiful forests with waterfalls, hot springs, and excellent bird-watching and adventure-tourism possibilities. Note: The currency used in Copán is the lempira, which at press time was about L19 to $1. In this section, prices are quoted in lempiras rather than quetzales, as quetzales are not accepted.
