Copan Ruinas: Budget Travel Guide, Copan, Honduras
This charming town is memorable for its cobblestone streets, local indigenous population and proximity to the large Mayan archaeological site nearby, which is also called Copan Ruinas. The town has a smattering of hostels and restaurants catering to international and domestic tourists. Tuk tuks, annoying as they may be, are the main form of transport in the town rather than taxis. Watch your step as they often whizz by at unrestrained speeds, lurching from side-to-side on the uneven roads. The town of Copan Ruinas was an unexpected treat for us. While we were only really expecting to see the archaeological site and then move on, the town itself hasn’t yet been drowned with tourists and retains an authentic character.
