Our first tour was of the ruins in Copan. The ruins are much smaller than Tikal but have many more monuments and much more detail in the temples. Our guide was very good with a sense of humor. He said at its peak the stones were the color of the macaw and 20,000 people lived here. As is the suspicion in Tikal, the people left due to drought, starvation and illness.
Our next stop was the Macaw Mountain Park. The birds here have been rescued or brought in by owners who can no longer care for their pets. The park is very nice with a swimming hole and the owners sell souvenirs and their own coffee to pay for the care of the park and birds.
We found the local HD watering hole. The bar has Harley paraphanalia everywhere and now has a Heritage HD dip dot on its beer cooler.
