Copan is a beautiful cobbled street town 10 kms from the Guatemalan border. I loved the fact that horses were still the main form of transport.
We came to check out the ruins, Copan Ruinas. These Mayan ruins famous for their fine hieroglyphs and mesoamerican ballcou
rt. The ballcourt was serious stuff in Mayan times, the captain of the loosing team was sacrificed to the gods.Since its's C19th discovery, it's continued to be the most popular Mayan site for excavations. Copan was our favourite too (we've seen a lot) and we loved seeing the Scarlet Macaws there.
