V!VA User‘s Description

There is much to do in Copan Ruinas, most of which has to do with the ancient ruined site of Copán. There are a couple of good museums, the sculpture museum and the Mayan Archaeology Museum. Horseback riding is available from some hotels. Also, be sure to check out the burial ground at Las Sepulturas outside of town.
