I was born and grew up in a small town in western Honduras, located within the ruins of the world-famous Maya archaeological site of Copán. I spent my childhood playing at the ruins of this ancient Maya kingdom and I had the opportunity to witness many of the discoveries made during the excavations conducted on-site. When I was 15 years old I started to guide visitors to the ruins during the weekends, the interaction with visitors helped me to learn English. After I finished high school I started to study at the National University at Tegucigalpa but I also continued guiding at the Maya ruins every time I had the opportunity, and then one day I discovered the Maya culture and nature were my passion and I left my studies to dedicate full time to work as a tour guide. Over the years I have received training courses in tourism, nature, archaeology, and history. My ability in languages permitted me to learn to speak, read and write in English and Italian, besides Spanish, I have dedicated the last 25 years to guiding the Maya sites in Honduras and leading trips in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
Welcome to Copan!
The tour begins in the town square, from where we will walk until we reach the main archaeological site, using one of the ancient roads of the Mayan city.
I will talk about the history of the Mayan civilization during the classic period 250 AD to 900 AD.
I will explain the history, the Mayan political-religious organization, the similarities with other civilizations in the world and modern society, among other things.
I wait for you!
I'll be at the fountain in the central square
