Copan Ruinas

---

RUINS!!!!!!!! Massive stone monuments in the middle of the Hondurian highland jungle....Discovered in the 1700 but not uncovered until recently (parts of it as late as the 80s) the Copan Ruinas Archeological Site is an impressive experience. The ruins are spread out over an area of 24 square km, and hiking around it climbing over temples, ballgame courts, ceremonial plazas and graves, you cant help but wonder if your stepping on someones kitchen or bed since only a fraction of the Mayan city has been dug out and the mounds you walk on are the parts that yet remain to be discovered. The guides brought the whole thing to life with their endless tales and trivia. One of them was only 13 years old ...killing time after school! See pics for details ok!
