Copan, Honduras – Dec 2002-Jan 2003

......

We took a 7 hour mini-van ride from Panahachel, Guatemala to Copan Ruinas, near the Honduran/Guatemalan border, in order to visit the Mayan ruins of Copan. This is the town's central square.

In a tunnel under one of the ruins. Much of the carvings and the temple's structure lie below ground as they have been buried slowly over the years. I am standing next to a large carved face that was excavated.
