Morning broke with wet streets as we left at 8 am for our 2 hour guided walk with local guide Saul of the Copan ruins.
This Copan site was really compact. The only difference with the other sites that we have seen was this is where is this spectacular stairway. It has the longest pre-Columbian with over 2,000 inscriptions on 63 steps in America.
Macaw Mountain had a 45 min guided tour climaxed with the photo opportunity of having the macaws sitting on us. Some had 3 macaws on them.
