Copan Ruinas, Honduras-The Mayan Ruins, Part 2

There were very few tourists the day we visited the Mayan ruins of Copan Ruinas, Honduras.   I went with Kathy and Sharon, 2 other students from the Ixbalanque language school.   It is very easy to spend several hours at the ruins.

We hired a guide for $25 for 2 hours.  We seemed to be the only ones with a guide.  It surprises me that people travel such a long distance to see something so incredible and try to do it without someone qualified to explain what you are seeing.

 

Having visited Copan Ruinas (2) two different times, I like the fact that it never seems to be crowded.  Occasionally a bus of tourists will roll through Copan Ruinas, Honduras, but it never seems to put much pressure on the ruins.  I consider it a very peaceful and tranquil site.
