Our last day in Copan we visited the Macaw Mountain Bird Park. We had to take a moto-taxi into the hills to the park, which is located about 10 minutes from downtown Copan. We were greeted by our quad-lingual tour guide, Juan, who led us through the beautifully designed park, filled with brilliantly colored macaws, toucans, and parrots from Honduras and elsewhere in Latin America. The park also has a restaurant where you can grab lunch and a coffee shop which roast coffee beans daily. I stopped in the gift shop to pick up some coffee for my parents, and in my browsing, managed to knock over some ceramic coasters. Of course… me and my clumsy self. So I bought those too.
Heide in the moto-taxi. These things are cool, but also crazy scary!
