Flores is one of the closest towns to the Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala. If you want to visit Tikal this is a good place to leave from. There are many agencies that can arrange for a taxi to drive you to the park. Flores is a really beautiful little town. It is on a sort of island in the middle of a huge lake. There are lots of cheap hotels and backpacker hostels here. It is a nice place to chill out and go swimming for a few days. For more on my travels in Guatemala visit my Travel blog at

Photo of a gun sign in Flores, Guatemala. These signs can be seen in a lot of establishments through Guatemala. It says, "Entrance of guns prohibited." Sometimes people who are carrying guns will enter these places and unload all of their guns at the door. Scary.
