Copan is a quaint city of about 24,000 people nestled in the foothills of western Honduras, just 7 miles from the Guatemala border. The town consists of whitewashed houses and buildings, old cobblestone streets, a beautiful plaza, a peaceful colonial church and more horses than cars.
Copan is renowned for its magnificent Maya Ruins, a designated World Heritage Site believed by archeologists to be the cultural center of the Maya world. The archaeological site at the ruins is the best remaining testament to the culture of the Mayan Indians.
