Audio Guide of Macaw Mountain Bird Park Nature Reserve

The park is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is about 10 minutes by taxi or tuk-tuk from Copán Ruinas; you can arrange transportation with your accommodation or call +504 2771-4444. Visit the official website for maps and updates.

The adult rate is approximately USD 25, which includes breakfast, a guided tour, lunch, and full access; children pay around USD 15. Prices may vary, so confirm on the official website or by calling +504 2771-4444.

It is recommended to spend between 3 and 4 hours enjoying the trails, the birds, and the included activities. You can stay longer if you want to swim in the river or relax at the restaurant.

Founded in 2004 by a Dutch conservationist, the park focuses on breeding and releasing endangered scarlet macaws, combining ecotourism with conservation near the Maya ruins of Copán. It is a key project for Honduras's biodiversity.

The best time is during the dry season from November to April, when the weather is ideal and the birds are more active. Go early in the morning, around 8:00 a.m., to see the macaws at their most spectacular.

The park has trails with uneven terrain, stairs, and slopes, so it is not fully wheelchair accessible. However, the main areas such as the aviaries and restaurant are flatter; contact +504 2771-4444 for adapted options.

It is just 10 minutes from the impressive Copán Ruins, a UNESCO site with unique Maya sculptures, and near Las Sepulturas and Central Park in Copán Ruinas. Combine your visit for a full day of history and nature.

Bring insect repellent, comfortable shoes for the trails, a camera, and swimwear for the river; book in advance during high season through the website. Do not miss the guided tour to learn about the birds, and enjoy the included breakfast to start the day with energy.
