The Copan Ruins Honduras are some of the most famous and best preserved Mayan ruins in Central America, on par with Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The Copan Ruins (or ruinas de Copan) are remnants of a great Mayan city, which reached its peak between 600 and 800 CE. By 1200 CE the city was completely abandoned and the jungle surrounded the former Mayan wonders.

Today, the Copan Ruins Honduras are a major archeological site and a big tourist draw. The nearest town is Copan Ruinas (the Spanish phrase for the ruins themselves is ruinas de Copan). It is possible to take day tours from Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, and other Honduras cities, but most travelers will want spend a night in a Copan hotel Honduras: it can take several days to explore all the ruins. The Marina Copan Hotel Honduras is a good top-end bet. Budget travelers will find the area around the Copan Ruins flush with cheap digs. Several hostels offer shared rooms for under $5 a night. The Los Gelemos Copan Hotel Honduras has private rooms for a similar price. Quality increases considerably if you spend just a little more, so the Copan Ruins Honduras is a must-visit place on any Central American backpacking tour.
