Macaw Mountain Bird Park
Macaw Mountain Bird Park & Nature Reserve
A rescue park on the northern edge of town where you can get up close to scarlet macaws and toucans, with a café beside a forest stream.
Macaw Mountain Bird Park lies about 2.5 km north of town. This non-profit bird rescue and breeding centre cares for hundreds of scarlet macaws, Amazon parrots, toucans and owls, and takes part in the Copán scarlet macaw release program. Follow the trail along the ravine to visit the large aviaries, and in the interactive area you can have a macaw perch on your arm for photos. Entry costs about US$10 (valid for three days), and the park is open roughly 09:00–17:00. The on-site café serves its own coffee and lunch. Tuk-tuks can take you there.
