Resumo: The Maya area is an important tourist region for cultural tourism in Latin America. There is substantial scientific literature on the area. However there are few studies about tourist flows and visitor profile. This article describes the methodology used to quantify and characterize the flow of visiting the Archaeological Park of Copán in Honduras. It also details the results. First it notes the basic characteristics of the visit (timing, form of travel arrangements, etc.). Following the identification of the major components of the tourist flow is addressed, from the joint consideration of multiple grouping criteria. Such data are important for the proper management of cultural attractions and also to design coherent strategies for tourism development.
