The Spectacular Mayan Ruins of Copan

Often described as the 'Paris' or "Florence' of the Mayan world, Copan is home to some of most detailed and beautiful Mayan artwork found anywhere. What it lacks in size - versus the "Manahattan" of the Mayan world, Tikal - it more than makes up for with its spectacular, well-preserved Mayan sculptures and reliefs.

"Copan is a feast for the eyes" said one Travel Club member, "and I still get goose bumps just thinking about standing at the top of the pyramid in the exact same spot in which Mayan Kings sat on their thrones."
