Flores, Guatemala

The Island of Flores (capital of the department of El Peten, Guatemala) was our home base for visiting Tikal.  It was a pleasant albeit HOT little town, but the easy access to Lake Peten Itza (the second largest in the country) made it worth it.  Although the best part of this leg of our trip was meeting fellow travelers and hearing about their paths to the island of Flores, tales of other successful travelers, and their plans for the future.

San Miguel is a short boat ride from Flores and has ruins that have yet to be excavated.


A beautiful beach on San Miguel!
