This museum has been open on and off since 1999 and was closed until May 2006, to construct a new roof, which is now guaranteed to hold for at least 40 years.
On the hilltops overlooking Copan you can find a small archaeological site. Traditionally referred to as the “birthing place”, studies suggest that the Mayans went to this particular place to give birth.
Don't miss this interesting place just because it is not situated on the main site - as this collection of many original homes offers a great insight into how the Mayans of Copan went about their daily lives.
