The Tunnels

The long historical research and excavation at Copan has left an extensive network of tunnels dug under the archaeological site. These tunnels, which used to be closed to public, have opened a window to the past baring tombs and temples that are not in plain sight. (Admission $ 15.00 for foreign).

"Las Sepulturas" is an integral part of the Copan Archaeological Project, and it is located just 2 km away from the central park. Known by this name by the Maya practice of burying their dead people in the same house where they lived, we now know that this was an elite residential area of Copan during the days of the reign of Yax-Pac,last king of Copan. This area has opened a window into the lifestyle of the elite Mayan days before the collapse of the Mayan civilization at Copan.

Across the banks of the Copan River, located on a small hill from which it has an extraordinary view of the Copan Valley, is "The Frogs". This small set of rock carvings, among which are a form of frogs can be accessed either through a walk of about 45 minutes from the center of Copán Ruinas, or on a horse back ride.

The stelae had a mystical meaning to the Mayas. Through these the trees were worshiped , according to thier mythology trees sustained the heavens. They were also a gateway to the "Xibalba", or underworld. Most of the stelae at Copan are located in the ceremonial center mainly in the great square, however, there are stelae strategically distributed throughout the Copán Valley. Most of the stelae that are outside the central park were built by the king's instructions XII dynasty Yax-Kuk-Mo, known as Butz Hunab K'awil, to designate the area of the valley through which he had communication with the gods and ancestors.
