Absolutely hire a tour guide- we learned so much and had the best conversation with our guide. Aside from all the gorgeous ruins there were beautiful macaws flying around! A must- see!
This is an amazing site dating back to 1000 BC. Architecture, while similar in the Mayan World is uniquely different. Statues, designs and the grand stair case make this a must see sight. We drove to these Copan Ruins from Guatemala City on a private...More

The Copán archeological site is renowned for its monumental three-dimensional sculptures (statues, stelae, altars and the like). Among ancient Mesoamerican cities you might want to visit, it's not as grandiose as Teotihuacan and the pyramids do not tower like in Tikal (they are quite modest,...More

Copan Ruinas is well kept and has a lot to see. It might take a few hours to see everything but it is well worth it. Especially once you start climbing the ruins, it has some great views.
Don’t miss this site! It’s very well preserved, and it’s worth a visit. The road from Antigua in Guatemala up to Copán is a good one, anyhow try to drive during daylight.
We arrived in the early afternoon on a Tuesday and we were alone....More

We were in a group. The entrance was included. As far as I remember there were 2 prices. One for local residents one for foreigners. I believe it was like 12 or 15 $
I visited the site on a Wednesday so I cannot be certain about Mondays. However, the guide book for the area states that Copan Ruinas is open daily between 8am and 4pm. I hope this helps.
