I am talking about Honduras



Honduras is located in the heart of Central America and is surrounded by high tropical mountains, which provide the country with a variety of different climates. Its north is the Caribbean Sea, offering a beautiful beach, the Bay Islands are surrounded by the world’s second largest coral reef.



Honduras has exotic animals, a lot of parks and protected areas, tropical nature, biological diversity, vast rain forest, many birds and mountains to climb.

Honduras is famous for its archaeology, it has one of the Maya Worlds most beautiful as well as perhaps the best preserved and most studied archaeological sites.

There are Copan Ruinas.

Copán Ruinas is located in northwest Honduras, near the border with Guatemala, 184 kilometers from San Pedro Sula.

UNESCO declared the ruins a World Heritage Site in 1980.

The city boasts more sculptures than any other site in the Maya World. The site has a Maya Sculpture Museum featuring stelae, altars and other structures from the site.

Honduras has 600 kilometers of Caribbean white sand beaches as well as pristine reefs and the unsurpassed biodiversity and beauty of the flora and fauna.



In Honduras the water is crystalline, the biodiversity and beauty of the flora and fauna unsurpassed. There are star, pillar coral, finger, rope, and vase sponges, sea fans, and fish species too numerous.




Honduras has many religious, civilian and military buildings of more than 300 years of Hispanic colonial history that can still be found today.


More than 100 churches with relief and interiors with imagery, precious metals and paintings the great importance.






Honduras' strong cultural heritage is based on its ethnic diversity about 90 percent of the Honduran population is mestizo, a mixture of indigenous, African, and Spanish races.

I'm doing a project on Honduras and I would just like to know what the name of the temple at Copan Ruinas is called. If you could just email its name to redblu45@gmail.com that would be great. Thanks.
