Hacienda San Lucas, Copan

Sitting in the tranquil hills above the Copan valley, Hacienda San Lucas is a rustic but charming 100-year-old family-owned retreat situated directly above the world-renowned Mayan ruins of Copan. Rooms are simply furnished and lighting is provided by solar lamps and candles: while atmospheric, this means actual illumination is very dim in the evenings and at night. Bathrooms feature hot water showers, although hot water is not available in the bathroom washbasins. Optional activities include visits to the local archaeological sites, birdwatching and trips into the hills to visit traditional villages or a local organic coffee finca. Features: 8 rooms with ceiling fans, candle-lit dining pavilion, hammocks, Wi-Fi.
