The country of Honduras is home to people of various ancestries. The Garifuna communities (known in Europe as the Black Caribs) are found on the Bay Island of Roatan, on Cayos Cochinos (the Hog Islands), and along the costal towns. The ancient Mayans left the Copan Ruins archaeological site (considered one of the most artistically advanced and detailed of all Mayan cities), where nearby the modern Maya, known as the Chortí Indians, can still be found. The Miskito Indians' most popular habitat became famous after it was introduced in Paul Theroux's novel, "The Mosquito Coast" which depicted the La Moskitia area. Other ethnic groups include the Lenca, Pech, Tolupan (Jicaque), and Tawahka Indians.
