Copan - Part 4 - Macaw Mountain

Just outside Copan Ruinas is a bird sanctuary for rescued birds.  It has been beautifully done.  It is situated in old growth forest augmented with native species tropical plants to create a natural tropical garden.  The Jungle Bistro restaurant is located in the park next to the Sesemil River which runs through the park. The Jungle Bistro is run by the same couple that run Twisted Tanya in town, a very popular backpackers restaurant.  We had planned our day to have lunch at Jungle Bistro, and we were absolutely delighted with our meals.  It is very evident that the birds are getting great care in the perfect setting.  Do not miss this if visiting Copan.
