World Heritage Sites in Honduras

Information about world heritage sites in Honduras.

Maya Site of Copan
FROM UNESCO: "Discovered in 1570 by Diego García de Palacio, the ruins of Copán, one of the most important sites of the Mayan civilization, were not excavated until the 19th century. The ruined citadel and imposing public squares reveal the three main stages of development before the city was abandoned in the early 10th century."
The Copan Mayan Archaeological Site was designated a cultural world heritage site by UNESCO in 1980.

Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve
FROM UNESCO: "Located on the watershed of the Río Plátano, the reserve is one of the few remains of a tropical rainforest in Central America and has an abundant and varied plant and wildlife. In its mountainous landscape sloping down to the Caribbean coast, over 2,000 indigenous people have preserved their traditional way of life."
The Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve was designated a natural world heritage site in 1982.
