Photos of Copan Ruinas, Honduras

I went to Copan Ruinas, the the Mayan settlement there, and it was breathtaking, truly amazing.

In the early morning, just after it opened I was the first one there and wanting to be alone with my private thoughts I refused the offer ( for a price ) of a local guide and just went around on my own in peace and tranquility.

With the sun beating down on me, the Macaw's and grasshopers adding their soundtrack to an otherwise silent and empty morning it was not difficult for me to imagine how this place would been during the time when the Mayan's were actually still living here.

Of course, you need to have seen the museum first, you really do, as there are so many ornate carvings and bright colours that it seems to be alive even now.
