Here is a view from the top of one of the larger pyramids across the main plaza. Copan was in its heyday (500 - 750AD) a very large city. It fell apart from an economic standpoint when it's population got bigger than the local agriculture could support.
Here is one of the smaller pyramids at Copan. There are quite a few and some much larger. The rockwork is most impressive. You can see one of the contemporary rulers on the top.
Here are some parrots that were hanging around in Copan, doubtless due to the parrot feeders that were hanging in the trees.
Here us a boy who has bought a chicken and is waiting for the bus so that he can take it home. The chicken was not pleased.
