The Modern Town of Copan Ruinas
The Church and Central Plaza of Copan Ruinas So focused was I on the ancient Mayan ruins at Copan, that I was not expecting anything from the modern town. Merely eight blocks square, a buzzing plaza with a church, an airstrip and a soccer field, Copan is quaint, the ruins less than 15 minutes ...
Darshana, Thank you. And most certainly. I will be in India in April.

Uaxactun, Guatemala: Best Day Trip from Tikal National Park
“We have a change in plan.” Our guide, Roxy said. I have been welcomed by guides in other countries with a variety of opening gamuts but never with the one I hate the most. I DO NOT like changes in plan. Roxy must have read my emotions instantly; I will never be a good poker player. “Executi...

Kanheri Caves, Mumbai: Blueprints and Prototypes of Ellora
A trip to the cave temples of Ajanta-Ellora had to be called off to accommodate a day at various government offices to sign some mundane papers. That left open a part of Saturday on my bi-annual whirlwind work trip to India and I was left to find something closer to home. The two choices for a...

25,000 year old cave paintings at Pileta Caves, Banorojan, near Ronda
The oldest known cave paintings in existence are about 32,000 years old! Cave art can be found in South Africa, southeast Asia, India, and the Americas. But the density of cave art is most in Europe, specifically in France and Spain. During my pre-trip research I discovered that one such cave, w...
Jane, Thank you for sharing :) Yes, the caves are amazing,

A Memorable Weekend At Lake Quinault
On the Memorial weekend of 2012, I was sitting in my home office—sunlight tumbling out of the Seattle sky—complaining on one social media site about how I could not understand how to use another. Ironically, I stumbled upon a photo on that site that made me sit up. I had not even heard of a pl...
Usha, Thanks for the kind words ...

Airavatesvara Temple, Darasuram: The Tombstone of the Chola Dynasty
Alexander the Great is the son of Phillip II of Macedon. Rajaraja Chola, the first great Chola king was succeeded by his son Rajendra Chola. This succession parallels the Phillip-Alexander saga. Great acts of the father were replicated at an early age and one-upped by the even more prodigal sons...

Michael, The terrain is not too demanding. If you do not need a cane, you should be able to do it. Wear comfortable flat shoes. Invest in a good miner style headlamp so that your hands are free for support and you should be able to do it.
Lastly, I would encourage you to do it before your knees start to trouble you more :) The caves has many wonderful sights to enjoy.
Have fun and comment on this blog on your return.
Thanks
