Copan Ruinas

The town next to the ruins at Copan is Copan Ruinas. It's a nice little town that is nearly impossible to drive through -- the streets are narrow cobblestone with cars parked everywhere. We stayed at the Hotel Posada Real de Copan on the other side of the ruins and took the free shuttle into town. There are also several hotels in town.

There are plenty of shops and restaurants in town to choose from. The shops sell the typical tourist stuff.

Taxis

When you need to get back to the hotel and don't care to wait for the next shuttle, or if you just want a ride around town, they have these small, red taxis available. They are inexpensive, but I'm not sure how safe. I'm still alive.
