Lunch at Copan Ruins Town

The colonial town of Copán Ruinas, as we know it today, began to take shape later, after the arrival of the Spanish. It was built around a central plaza, with cobbled streets and red-tiled roof architecture that still retain the charm of that era. The region's geographical isolation helped preserve its quiet character and relaxed pace of life over the centuries. The town's true boom as a tourist destination came with the re-excavation and restoration of the ruins in the 19th and 20th centuries, which attracted archaeologists and visitors from all over the world.

The charming town of Copán Ruinas, in western Honduras, is more than just a gateway to the famous Mayan site; it is a town with a rich historical heritage and a vibrant culinary scene. Its history is intertwined with the rise and fall of the great Mayan civilization, while its modern gastronomy is a fusion of ancient flavors and colonial influences.
