Copán Ruinas, a UNESCO World Heritage site in western Honduras, is renowned for its impressive Mayan ruins and intricate hieroglyphic stairway. Accessibility within the site is generally good, though some areas may have uneven terrain. Solo exploration is possible, but a guided tour is highly recommended to fully appreciate the history and significance of the site. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, but the dry season (December to April) is preferable for more comfortable exploration. The entrance fee is approximately $15 USD, and a typical visit lasts 3-4 hours, allowing ample time to explore the main structures, museums, and surrounding areas.
