Myan ruins at Copan

The ruins at Copan are probably the best, and largest, I have seen. This site was about a kilometre from town and the only one we had time to see.

It was well maintained, and so clean... take a look at the broom this guy is using.

Several trees at the entrance to the park had metal around the bottoms and big "drums" at the top. This is protected nests for macaws. 

As we were leaving the park, there were squawking macaws all over the place. As you can see the nests are being used. Pretty birds, but man, are they noisy.

This is just going to be a bunch of pictures of the ruins in no particular order.... so much history, so many stories, but just pictures today. Our guide was very knowledgeable and by the time we left the park my brain was overflowing.

It is hard to describe the size of this site. Our tour lasted about 3 hours and we barely stopped walking the entire time.

So much detail.

Most definitely a memorable day! We could easily have spent a couple more days as there were underground excavations. Also there were sites in different locations around town that our tour guide would have taken us to see.
