    Walking around the ruinsSaber tree

    Copan Ruins and the hot springs

    September 20, 2017 in Honduras ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    I went for an early breakfast at the yummy coffee shop. We then went to the Copan Ruins. The Mayans lived there from 1,500 BC to 1,200AD, the end of their civilization. The golden time was 400-800 AD. The Mayans destroyed all the forests, so ended up with no food or water. Mayans had a culture of incest and polygamy. We saw a few cool trees including the saber tree or Tree of life which was the Avatar tree. Also saw the Maraca tree and Strangling fig tree. After looking around I had a yummy ice coffee and frozen banana with nuts. Most of us then traveled for an hour to the thermal springs. There were a range of hot pools with quite hot temperatures. One of them had a cave that was really hot to run into. We had dinner there before traveling back.Read more
