Plaza Occidental
Every vibrant town needs a buzzing center—here, classic colonial buildings, street vendors, and chatty locals fill Plaza Occidental with energy. Where the footsteps of history mingle with laughter, let us wander through the beating heart of Copan Ruinas, a crossroads for locals and adventurers alike.
Estructura 11
High above the ancient city, Estructura 11 rises like Copan's final royal flourish. Envision the grand processions that once climbed these steps, and the tales etched into every stone block.

Remarkable stories are carved in stone throughout Copan. Stroll to Estela A, where the grandeur of ancient royalty is sculpted with elegant detail and each side whispers a new piece of history.
Estela C
Get ready to gaze at a stela where kings face sunrise and sunset, and a stone turtle guards ancient secrets. In Copan, even the monuments seem to watch time glide by—and this spot is packed with hidden symbolism.
Mariposario Mayan Hills
Step into a lush oasis just outside Copan Ruinas, where color flutters on delicate wings and tranquility reigns. This enchanting butterfly house is more than just a garden—it is a living showcase of nature's wonder. Let us meander through what locals call one of the town's secret delights.
