Copán Mayacomplex, Copán Ruinas, Honduras
Copán is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization located in the Copán Department of western Honduras, not far from the border with Guatemala. It was the capital city of a major Classic period kingdom from the 5th to 9th centuries AD. The city was located in the extreme southeast of the Mesoamerican cultural region, on the frontier with the Isthmo-Colombian cultural region, and was almost surrounded by non-Maya peoples.In this fertile valley now lies a city of about 3000, a small airport, and a winding road.
Copán was occupied for more than two thousand years, from the Early Preclassic period to the Postclassic. The city developed a distinctive sculptural style within the tradition of the lowland Maya, perhaps to emphasize the Maya ethnicity of the city's rulers.
The city has a historical record that spans the greater part of the Classic period and has been reconstructed in detail by archaeologists and epigraphers. Copán was a powerful city ruling a vast kingdom within the southern Maya area. The city suffered a major political disaster in AD 738 when Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, one of the greatest kings in Copán's dynastic history, was captured and executed by his former vassal, the king of Quiriguá. This unexpected defeat resulted in a 17-year hiatus at the city, during which time Copán may have been subject to Quiriguá in a reversal of fortunes.
A significant portion of the eastern side of the acropolis has been eroded away by the Copán River, although the river has since been diverted in order to protect the site from further damage.
The Copán site is known for a series of portrait stelae, most of which were placed along processional ways in the central plaza of the city and the adjoining acropolis, a large complex of overlapping step-pyramids, plazas, and palaces. The site has a large court for playing the Mesoamerican ballgame. In two parallel buildings framing a carefully dimensioned rectangle lies the court.
The site is divided into various groups, with the Main Group and the Cemetery Group in the site core linked by a sacbe to the Sepulturas Group to the northeast. Central Copán had a density of 1449 structures per square kilometer (3,750/sq mi), while in greater Copán as a whole this density fell to 143 per square kilometre (370/sq mi) over a surveyed area of 24.6 square kilometers (9.5 sq mi)
The Main Group represents the core of the ancient city and covers an area of 600 by 300 meters (1,970 ft × 980 ft). The main features are the Acropolis, which is a raised royal complex on the south side, and a group of smaller structures and linked plazas to the north, including the Hieroglyphic Stairway and the ballcourt. The Monument Plaza contains the greatest concentration of sculpted monuments at the site.
The Acropolis was the royal complex at the heart of Copán. It consists of two plazas that have been named the West Court and the East Court. They are both enclosed by elevated structures. Archaeologists have excavated extensive tunnels under the Acropolis, revealing how the royal complex at the heart of Copán developed over the centuries and uncovering several hieroglyphic texts that date back to the Early Classic and verify details of the early dynastic rulers of the city who were recorded on Altar Q hundreds of years later. The deepest of these tunnels have revealed that the first monumental structures underlying the Acropolis date archaeologically to the early 5th century AD, when K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' established the royal dynasty.

Copan Ruinas - Mayas in Honduras
* Deutsch ** English *** Espanol
* Ein Besuch der Ruinen in Copan. Die südlichste antike Stadt der
Mayas auf dem heutigen Gebiet von Honduras, nahe der
guatemaltekischen Grenze. Während der klassische Periode vom
Jahre 250 - 900 hatte sie ihre Blütezeit im 8.Jh. Erst relativ spät
entdeckt, wird die Stätte seit Mitte des 19.Jh. erforscht und ist seit
1980 Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO. Noch nicht so touristisch haben
wir die Anlage in Ruhe genossen und waren manchmal sogar ganz
für uns alleine. Sehr zu empfehlen durch ihre Lage in der Natur mit
entsprechender Fauna und Flora. Interessant zu beobachten ist die
große Anzahl frei lebender Aras mit ihrem Gekreische und
Gekrächze.
** A visit at Copay Ruins. The most southern antique Maya site in
Honduras, close to the border of Guatemala. During the classical
period from 250 - 900 their prime time was within the 8th century.
Discovered very late, there have been explorations since the 19th
century and since 1980 the site is UNESCO world heritage. There is
still few tourism so we could enjoy the area mostly for our own. The
site with its flora and fauna is very recommendable and the huge
amount of wild macaws with their noise is amazing to watch.
*** Una visita de Copan Ruinas. El sitio Maya lo mas al sur en
Honduras, cerca de frontera a Guatemala. Durante el periodo
Classico tenia su mejor tiempo en el siglo VIII. Descubierto muy
tarde, desde el siglo XIX están explorando el terreno y desde 1980
el sitio es Patrimonio de la Humanidad de UNESCO. Hasta ahora
no hay tanto turismo, así podriamos disfrutar nuestra visita muy
tranquilamente. Este sitio con su flora y fauna es muy
recomendable y interessante de observar son las grandes
cantidades de los guacamayos ruidosos
Going to Copan, Copan Ruinas Vacation, Honduras Vacation Part 1
OMG! Honduras is amazing! On September 12, we left from San Pedro Sula in a rented car and we headed to Copan Ruinas, approximately 4 hours away.
We stayed in a beautiful boutique hotel, Terramaya Hotel. I highly recommend it, clean, great service, great food, beautiful view of the mountains.
We ate at Carnitas Nia Lola Restaurant, their food and Margaritas are delicious and affordable, great atmosphere! We took plenty rides in the tuk tuk or moto taxi, it was a lot of fun.
We had desert in Welches Cafe, they really make the best Tres Leches Cake in all Honduras!

BUTTERFLY PARK // Mariposario COPAN RUINAS HONDURAS
Mariposarios butterfly park in Copan Ruinas Honduras is a really cool place to visit. They have an awesome property with a netted forest where the butterflies are protected and fly around while you walk among them. They also have a beautiful swimming pool with a waterfall and jacuzzi that you can relax in day or night. This was a day I went with my two homestay brothers while living and studying Spanish in Copan Ruinas, Honduras.
