A small man-made island at lake Petén Itzá. Flores itself is tiny; you can walk around it in about 20 minutes. It’s a chilled out little island and a good place to base yourself before you head to Tikal.
The three of us staid at Los Amigos, a hostel and restaurant, located in the middle of the small island. The restaurant had a ton of delicious food starting with about 20 different breakfast dishes and a hand full of delicious juices and smoothies.
