This weekend Jordon and I took a series of buses to Copan Ruins. The ruins of an ancient Mayan city. Our weekend was very fun and tiring. We explored the ruins, went horseback riding, and ziplining. It was incredible to see such a large area of an civilization that no longer exists. The temples were impressive but Copan is best known for its 'ball court' where a 'game' was played with a ball and usually ended with at least one player being sacrificed. Which brings up another interesting thing, alot of the archeticture was in altars for sacrifice with places for blood to drain out and other such pleasantries.
Here is a video of me zipling, it was filmed by our guide on one of the 15 ziplines. It was pretty exciting and also cool to look out while ziplining and see Mayan ruins (not in this video).
Wow! This looks amazing:) What a view! It sounds like an incredible exploring. Thanks for sharing about what you saw and did.
