Les Ruines de Copan

Yesterday we had a 4am pick up, said goodbye to Guatemala and headed off to our fourth and final country, Honduras. Our land crossing across the border was pretty painless and we found ourselves in Copan Ruinas and settled into a hotel by 11am! The main thing we wanted to do in Honduras (apart from fly home!) is to visit the Mayan ruin site of …

Und man will die Außerirdischen ja bei guter …

Une bonne coupure de courant pour un dernier soir au Honduras ! Les rues sont progressivement plongées dans le noir, seul le ViaVia et quelques autres pas de porte surnagent, avec leurs petits groupes électrogènes.

Très belle promenade sur le site archéologique, parmi des sculptures fidèles à leur réputation : tout en finesse et en détails …

Other sites are found across Guatemala and Mexico. One of the larger sites is Tikal in Northern Guatemala. Copan is quite special because people say in …

After a long travel day we cross the border into Honduras, which is my first experience crossing borders in Central America. The process is always interesting and varies from one country to the other depending on who is in charge that day :) We stamp out of Guatemala and then travel further up the road to another office to stamp into Honduras. …

Our initial impressions of Hondouras are very favourable, (a view assisted no doubt by having had one of the best meals since leaving home.) Copan Ruinas is a nice little town with cobbled streets that nestles in a lush river valley. Its famous Mayan site is just a pleasant stroll from the main square and has some incredibly well preserved stone …
