About this activity

Step back 1,600 years on this expertly guided day trip from San Pedro Sula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Copán Ruins — The centrepiece of the day. Wander the Great Plaza and its iconic stelae — the most intricately carved in the Maya world. Hieroglyphic Stairway, one of the longest pre-Columbian texts ever found. Then go underground through the excavation tunnels that reveal construction layers hidden beneath the main pyramids. Finish in the Sculpture Museum, home to the original Rosalila Temple replica and the finest Maya stonework in the region.
