If you are not on a super strict budget, do an overnight trip to Finca El Cisne. This plantation visit was one of my best experiences during my 6 week trip. You can book the visit from the ViaVia in Copan Ruinas. Finca El Cisne is about 45 minutes from Copan Ruinas (depending on the state of the roads). What you do on the tour, led by the extremely charismatic Carlos Castejon, is horseback riding that includes visits to the coffee and cardamon fields and some exceptional views. You also visit the coffee processing plant and go for a swim in a local hot spring. You are served three DELICIOUS home-cooked meals, all made using food grown at the Finca. Your digs are in a beautiful and luxurious (for a backpacker) ranch house. Such a fun, cool experience! TOTALLY WORTH IT!
