Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Copán Ruinas is one of the most intimate and detailed of all Maya sites — the hieroglyphic stairway and the extraordinary sculpted stelae require a guide to properly understand, but the site is small enough to explore at your own pace afterward. The town of Copán Ruinas is charming, safe, and very walkable. The Macaw Mountain bird park nearby is an excellent solo morning addition.
