Mayan Ruins during the intimate weekend


The last weekend some of my friends and I went to Copan. The original plan was to go to Nicaragua but when we went to the bus station to get the tickets there were no tickets. So the next day we decided to have a Honduran excursion. Copan is six hours away close to the Guatemalan border.

The first day we arrived in Copan we checked into our hostile and walked around to get a feel for the city. I loved the fact that on every street corner there was a coffee shop. The best thing was all the great meals we shared. My first and only fresh bagel in Honduras, three course meals with great views, and delicious coffee definitely kept me satisfied.

On the second day we were very busy. In the morning, we explored the Mayan ruins, the main attraction in Copan. It was real fun to climb the steps and see all the different structures. My legs were sore the next day on our bus ride back to Tegucigalpa. Afterwards, we went on an intimate coffee tour. We went to the Welchez coffee farm which is located 30 minutes away in the mountains. We were the only four on the tour. It was fun to hike around the farm and learn so much about coffee growing and processing. The tour included an elegant meal overlooking the tropical coffee farm. The smells reminded me of when I was a little girl and loved the smell of my dad’s coffee. Over all a great weekend and lots of great memories!
