Feeding times are 8 AM and 12 PM! Come during these times and you can see the birds nearby descend to feast. What a beautiful thing they are doing to preserve the macaw and bird population in the area. The location is in a tranquil area with a river running through the vicinities. It was really cool to be up and close with these majestic creatures. You can pay some money to feed the birds as well and it was a very fun experience. To note though you may be able to see the scarlet macaws chilling at the entrance of Copan ruins too but either way it was a great way to spend some time in the afternoon admiring and seeing the sanctuary's preservation efforts. You can grab a tuktuk from the Copan Square to the sanctuary for around $2 each way at the time of this writing.

Beautiful and well-kept bird park where you can discover many local birds. Due to Covid, you can't take pictures with the birds sitting on you anymore, but they've built a nice cenery where you can take good pictures with free birds. I think this way it's even better for the animals. It's definitely a must if you're in Copan and want to learn more about the local birds.

Beautiful place nested in the hills of Copan Ruinas. Several species of birds native of Honduras , but the most important and beautiful ones are the macaws , scarlet and green macaws . Excellent program of protection and release of macaws . Glad to see this birds been taking care of …. Can’t leave Copan without visiting it

What you pay for is to support the incredible work of the local community to save the macaws and toucans and other birds. Really impressed with the rehabilitation and you know they are releasing birds eventually as you see so many flying about freely. Heaps of information and delicious coffee at the café.

Es un lugar ideal para los amantes de la naturaleza, pero en especial para los observafores de aves. El centro fomenta la recuperación, cuidado y rehabilitación de aves que fueron víctimas de cautiverio. Hay una cantidad hermosa de aves que ya han sido liberadas y que viven de manera silvestre, que anidan y procrean en la vegetación del parque. Podrás apreciar polluelos y huevos de guacamaya que se encuentran en incubación. Es una experiencia que vale la pena vivir. De igual manera tiene su contexto triste, podras observar algunas aves que aún no superan los traumas vividos y que estan en depresión. Asi que no te sorprendas de ver alguna ave muy triste o sin plumas. Por otra parte después de la pandemia de la Covid-19 la famosa foto sosteniendo las guacamayas en tus brazos ya no es posible. Fue prohibida dicha práctica y las aves también perdieron el habito de compartir con los turistas tan de cerca.

An amazing place. Our guide Delmer Lopez did a wonderful job with explanation of all different kind of birds they take care of. It was a true pleasure to visit Macaw Mountain. A special thanks to Delmer who made it even more special.
