| Information about this itinerary: |
| San Pedro Sula (3 Hotels options in San Pedro Sula) |  | San Pedro is blessed with excellent access via the most modern paved highways in Central America, has some of the best hotel infrastructure in the country and many attractive sites are within short distances from this industrial capital of Honduras. Don Pedro de Alvarado founded it with the name of "Villa de San Pedro de Puerto Caballos", and within the next 5 years was know as San Pedro Sula, with the name Sula deriving from the local dialect Usula, meaning "valley of birds".
|
| Copan (2 Hotels options in Copan) |  | Copan combines the charm of a colonial town with cobblestone streets and friendly inhabitants, and the magnificence of the most important Archaeological Park of the country: The Ancient Mayan City of Copan and the Mayan Sculpture Museum. It is located in the jungles of northwestern Honduras, a three-hour drive from San Pedro Sula. In Copan, the Mayas reached their most refined sculpture, leaving the longest hieroglyphic text, and the most fascinating collection of stelares.
|
| Maya Three Kingdoms |  | Visit the archaeological site of Quirigua, where extraordinary monuments include 12 carved stellae, 4 zoomorphs, enormous carved stones of mythological animal forms, journey back in time with a visit to one of the world?s travel wonders, Tikal whose towering pyramids loom out of the thick jungle canopy like stoic sentinels of ancient mysteries and unrestored temples plus enjoy a visit to the Caribbean town of Livingston. |
| Copan Tour |  | The Copán Ruins are known for beautiful temples, altars, and stelae. The stelae are large pillar-like stone carvings, in extremely intricate high relief. They are a pictorial presentation of the history of the city and ancient Honduras Culture. The hieroglyphs describe the power and politics of the times.
Impressive in detail and humbling in size, these unique sculptural monuments make Copan exceptional among the ruins of the ancient Maya civilization. |
