Maya ruins with hieroglyphic staircases more detailed than almost anywhere else the civilisation built, macaws bred here for ceremony still nesting in the trees above the temples, and a coffee region in the hills behind worth the detour on its own.
The best time to visit Copán & western Honduras is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 33°C (91°F).
