The first place I got to, after leaving the macaws, was the plaza of steles. Please click on the image to get to see the map.
Copan Ruins
Because of the general conditions in many parts of Honduras, I was not sure that I wanted to come here, but it is an important historical artifact and brings in lots of tourists and that means income to the local government. It is well patrolled and the area is completely safe and definitely worth visiting. |

From here I climbed over the backwall and headed to an old residential compex |

Because of the absence of graveyards, tombs were found under or near houses |

Houses (of the wealthy) are arranged around patios, small plazas |
 |

 |
An excellent ball court |
