The newly renovated main house contains an antique ceiling fan, wood paneled ceiling and a cozy commons area, always available to guests, featuring color T.V. with cable, VHS, CD player and an extensive library of books, magazines, maps and videotapes on history, culture, travel, archeology, indigenous groups and the environment in Honduras and Central America - all making La Casa de Café a charming and comfortable base from which to explore the magnificent ruins of Copan. 

Relax in a hammock and take in a sunset, read a good book, watch a video, brush up on your Spanish or sample the local beers. Esta en su casa! Make yourself at home! 

La Casa de Café is unique, offering all the services and amenities one would expect in a fine Bed & Breakfast Inn along with Honduran charm, family style hospitality, and turn-of-the-century ambiance. 

After a good nights rest, awake to a rich, flavorful cup of locally grown export quality coffee. We grind our beans - fresh every morning. Top it off with a typical, hearty, homemade Honduran country style breakfast. Piping hot tortillas fresh from the griddle, beans, fried plantains, eggs, ham, fresh country cream, tropical fruits - or if you prefer the more traditional - pancakes, french toast, waffles and homemade granola. 

After visiting the majastic Mayan ruins and strolling the quaint colonial village of Copan, why not take a dip in the local hot springs, visit a nearby waterfall, nature reserve or a local Chorti Indian village. For the adventurous, there is horseback riding to outlying Maya sites like Los Sapos, or simply wander down to the Copan River. 

For your comfort and security we're staffed 24 hours a day by our on-site owner/manager. Our knowledgeable bilingual staff is always ready to answer questions, recommend a restaurant or serve up a fresh cup of coffee - at La Casa de Café our coffee maker is always on! 

The beauty of the sculpture, the solemn stillness of the woods, disturbed only by the scrambling of monkeys, and the chattering of parrots, the desolation of the city, and the mystery hung over it, all created an interest higher, if possible, than I had ever felt among the ruins of the Old World. - John L. Stephens, 1839, Copan's First Explorer 

In his now classic work, Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan , published in 1841, Stephens first brought Copan to world attention. 

Constructed during the Mayan Classic Period 300-800 A.D. - Copan is considered a masterpiece of Mayan sculpture and architecture. The intricate stelae, The Great Plaza, The Hieroglyphic Stairway, Las Sepulturas residential site, were all abandoned for reasons yet unknown and the site reclaimed by the jungle, around year 1200. Today, a multinational team of Maya experts continue the explorations that John Stephens began. 

La Casa de Café was featured in Outside Magazines' Annual Travel Guide 1997 - 1998 in a feature article entitled; Top Ten Finds....World's Best Hideaways.
