Crafts Market
Every afternoon, a small sidewalk crafts market sets up just off the Parque Central. You'll see Guatemalan woman sitting side by side with hippyish traveler-jewelers, each loaded down with shell necklaces, bead bracelets, feather earrings - boho wear. There's a fair amount of blah here but browse slowly and you're sure to find a one-of-a-kind piece.

El Pabellón Maya
This warehouse-type store has a variety of artesanía from Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. There's a fair share of kitsch but the Maya replicas are worth a stop. Prepare to have a staff member follow your every move.

La Casa de Todo
Small book exchange tucked into this gift shop. As the name suggests, the House of Everything has just about…everything: clothing, jewelry, decorations, postcards, a book exchange, café, internet access, international calling center and laundry service. Convenient yes, but not cheap.

Tallados en Piedra Lito
Perhaps the most enticing souvenirs in Copán are the high-quality Maya replicas made by Don Lito Lara and his son. Third- and fourth-generation sculptors, the Laras create their stone carvings in their modest home. Stop by during the day and you're likely to see one or both of them at work, always willing to tell you about their creations and show you around the workshop. Neither speaks much English, but Don Lito's daughter is often around to translate.
