The museum at the ruins is very impressive. It encloses a scale replica of one of the subterranean temples allowing a glimpse of what the Mayans might have seen and felt during their glory years. There are two other activities available in Copan. The first is relaxing in thermal springs, about a fifty minute ride from the town. Los Sapos is a site on a nearby mountainside where some rough carvings can be seen.
Some people think that the Mayan women went there to have their children.
Others think that the site was a place for practicing carving. The journey to the site is absolutely gorgeous, with rolling hills and an idyllic stream. You can either walk or ride horses up the hills. A word of caution. The bridles for the horses do not have bits.
