Honduras: Copan Ruins

These stones are located near the acropolis at the Copan Ruins. The pastel colors stood out amongst the surrounding greenery and ashy rubble. I wish I could decipher the carvings though because this picture is just a picture. Check out my run in with a shady tour guide at the Copan Ruins.

Copan's Abandoned Jail, Honduras

Mirador El Cuartel is an abandoned jail cell located about five blocks away from Copan’s Parque Central. It’s located on a small hill that offers a great view of the Copan Valley. Right behind it is Honduras’ Children’s International, a non-profit organization whose mission is to help children and families who live in extreme poverty.
