Day Fifty One
I just got back from Copan and am exhausted!! But aside from that had the best time ever, and got two items of my bucket list crossed off, horseback riding and zip lining! So we took a rapidito bus to get there oh man what an experience, for one it isn't that fast so why they call it a rapidito I'm not sure, oh and you literally are in a sardine can, a mini van type car that is supposed to seat 12 got crammed with like 22! So anyway after finally getting there we had no idea where our hotel was so we were kind of going all over town when we ended up at this really nice hotel "San Lucas" that looked amazing unfortunately cost an arm and a leg so we decided not to stay there but we were blessed to meet this awesome taxi guy named Cesar. He was our saviour, thanks to him and the fact that he knew practically everyone in town we did everything we wanted to do. He had friends at "El Sapo" where they give canopy tours, they have the longest zip line in Central America, so of course we had to go. It was so beautiful, I love zip lining!! Ok so after we did that Cesar also knew the guy that did the horseback riding tours, so we got to travel on a horse!! My horse was named "Princesa" and I officially want a horse now! I loved her I know it sounds cheesy and what not but I totally felt at one with the horse. Anyway we went riding for about two hours up to "Los Sapos" site. A mayan rock carved in the form of a frog with a woman giving birth beneath it. We were told Mayan women believed the frog gave them fertility. Oh and above the frog was a bed and a circle were they would sacrifice the last baby born in December, crazy stuff! We finally finished the day off by going to the main archaeological park of the Mayan Ruins and the Sepulturas after. It was a beautiful site to see, there was so much nature all around us and the sculptures had so much detail and history it was quite impressive. Copan itself is the most adorable little town, everyone we met was super friendly and very helpful. Definitely wouldn't mind going back there someday.
