Copan is a very small town so really you can walk just about anywhere, including the parque de aves if you don't mind a hike. However, if you're not up for a walk or are lugging backpacks around you can take one of these. Rumor has it that they came from Thailand and now are the only form of taxi used in Copan. They are cheap, $1 for pretty much anywhere around town, although if you are by yourself $25 lempiras (or about $1.25) seems to be the going rate for a destination on the outskirts of town. They seem quite safe and in fact, a friend and I took one down the mountain from Hacienda San Lucas in the dark and while it was raining. Although we were terrified, we made it just fine.
