Rastrajon Copán Ruinas

Situated for defense on a mountainside, the earth shifting due to subterranean water flow here has left the remains twisted into unusual formations. This site was occupied both before and after the long Copan dynasty making it unique in the valley; it contains exceptional sculpture. It's about 2km trip beyond the main site behind the Clarion Hotel (L30 by mototaxi). Expect to have the beautiful and interesting site all to yourself.
