Set in serene, rolling hills 45km from Santa Rosa, COPAN is one of the most impressive of all Maya sites. Copan's pre-eminence is not due to size - in scale it's far less impressive than sites such as Tikal or Chichen Itza - but to the overwhelming legacy of artistic craftsmanship that has survived over hundreds of years. Not surprisingly, the site is heavily promoted by the Honduran government and tour operators and now ranks as the second most visited spot in the country after the Bay Islands.
