This tour originates in the Copan Ruinas

At 08:00 AM, meet and greet at your hotel in Copán and transfer to Quirigua with a bilingual guide. Quirigua is one of the smallest Mayan Cities, but one of the most notable due to its splendid series of monuments, probably founded in the Late Pre-Classic era and flourished until the 10th century, when it was abandoned for unknown reasons. The archaeological site of Quirigua contains the largest stela ever discovered in the Mayan world. It seems likely - because of its sudden burst of mastery - that the artisans, and perhaps the rulers of Quirigua came from Copán, Honduras, less than 100 kilometers south across the mountains. Copán had been erecting monuments for 250 years before Quirigua, and both cities apparently ceased within five years of each other. In 738 AD Quirigua’s forces defeated the city of Copán and captured its ruler, XVIII Jog (18 rabbit), and had him beheaded. In the afternoon, transfer back to Copán.
