Aguas Termales
A set of hot springs, aguas termales, are 24km north of Copán Ruínas, an hour's drive through fertile mountains and coffee plantations. There are a couple of artificial pools or you can sit in the river, where the boiling hot-spring water mixes with the cool river water. The area has recently been bought by Italian developers, who have visions of a larger-scale resort or attraction but still no firm plans. Bring warm clothes if you come in the evening.

Macaw Mountain Bird Reserve & Nature Park
Set on four hectares of tropical forest, Macaw Mountain Bird Reserve & Nature Park has large enclosures with birds ranging from brilliant Buffon's macaws to manic keel-billed toucans. The ticket price - a bit steep, but good for three days - includes a one-hour guided tour (English and French spoken). There's also a 20-minute nature loop through an adjacent coffee plantation, a small swimming hole and a café. It's 2.5km from town, mostly uphill.
