Honduras is a great destination for fans of all mystical, being one of the countries where the ancient Maya peoples lived. Copan is one of the main cities of their culture - today it is a kind of “Mecca” for archeology buffs. Here you can explore the remains of ancient buildings of the Mayan era, as well as monuments of their culture preserved to this day. For example, the Hieroglyphic Stairway, a clay statue of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' (founder of the city), steles, pyramids, altars, temples. One of the most important places of pilgrimage is las Seppulturas, that is, "the tombs" that best demonstrate the life of the Maya during the period of their culture's prosperity. Houses of the local nobility were located here many centuries ago. The name comes from the Mayan custom of burying the dead in catacombs under the houses where they live.

It has very beautiful churches, each of which captivates with its unparalleled look - both inside and outside - once and for all. An extraordinary beauty attracts travelers to Comayagua, a city where it seems as if reality has disappeared, giving way to fairy tales and dreams. While in Copan and Roatan, it wouldn't harm to visit farms where you can look at many different animals.
