Not a bad view to wake up to



Ataco is a small town set in the mountains surrounded by coffee plantations. Its name in Nahuati means ‘place of the high springs’. We had an early morning walk around the cobbled streets, the market stalls and vibrant wall art.









Standing room only at the church













Cashew nuts at the market. The red part is cooked, leaving the small nut at the end.

Raul took us to a lovely coffee shop for affogato


Back on the road to the border stopping at Santa Ana, the country’s second largest city. The main square had some impressive buildings


The neo Gothic cathedral was completed in 1913 obviously has a pigeon problem!







After an interesting border crossing we arrived in Copan and the lovely Hotel Marina Copan






A mojito in the bar and out for some very colourful tacos
