DAY 2 : COPAN
Copan Ruinas has been described by the famous archaeologist Sylvanus Morely as the Athens of the New World. For 400 years Copan was the principal Maya cultural center, far ahead of other larger and more powerful cities in its development of sculpture, astronomy and hieroglyphic writing. Copan's great Hieroglyphic Stairway bears a continuous text of more than 1250 glyph blocks listing dates and names of the city's rulers. Because of its beautiful artwork, unsurpassed in the Mundo Maya, Copan occupies a special place in the study of ancient civilizations. Enjoy an in depth exploration of the ruins in the company of expert guides and visit the Sculpture museum in the heart of Copan Ruinas. Overnight at Marina Copan or similar. [BL]
DAY 3 : RETURN HOME
This morning return to Guatemala and the colonial city of Antigua (approximately 4 hours) to continue on to another Wildland Adventure, or depart form San Pedro Sula. [B]
