I had a fantastic day trip to the Copán Ruins in Honduras, all the way from San Salvador, thanks to our incredible guide, Josue. He truly went above and beyond—driving over 10 hours in total and handling the border crossing with such ease that the immigration process felt completely stress-free!

The driver and guide Josué Romero is very professional and helpful. He has presented us a lot of interested knowledges. One way trip from my hotel to Copan ruins Honduras took about 5 to 5.5 hours, so total trip is up to 16 hours. Copan ruins is a place you have to visit if you are interested about maya culture. I have enjoyed this tour a lots.

Our local guide at Copan was excellent. He provided interesting explanations and had in depth knowledge of Copan. Gaby our tour guide who drove us from San Salvador to Copan did a great job. She know all the details about traveling to Copan and the border crossing process. I hope to make it back to Copan. I would recommend spending more time on site if you are able to. If I go back I will probably plan on an over night stay. Sorry my Spanish is not advanced enough to comment in Spanish.

Very long but very rewarding day trip to Copan. Get ready for a very long day. But you get the benefit of getting multiple stamps and multiple countries in the classes day and a delicious traditional lunch in Honduras. Gaby was a trooper. She drove the entire way there and back and assured us through customs for the 3 countries. Make sure you bring your passport and have enough space for the stamps (7 total). Copan itself was really cool, you can see the macaws everywhere in the wild.
