  3. 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.
