050 Cycle Touring Central America - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^38) Quimistan – La Entrada - 55 kilometres

The ride to La Entrada was a short but boiling and hilly one and we opted for a
hotel and again watched the Olympics for the remainder of the day. Not that there
was a great deal more to do in La Entrada, as it was a hot and dusty crossroads
town with hectic traffic zooming off in all directions.
La Entrada – Copan Ruinas - 65 kilometres

The stretch between La Entrada and Copa was well known for its coffee plantations
and thus scenic albeit mountainous. Upon spotting one of these famous Copan
coffee farms, we felt obliged to sample a cup of their famous high-grown coffee.
Ten kilometres from the Guatemalan border was the charming and tranquil village
of Copan Ruinas, famous for nearby Mayan ruins. Finding accommodation was easy
as just about every second building was a hotel or hostel.
