It was New Year’s Day and we stopped in Flores, Guatemala for lunch on our way to Tikal National Park. The small island on Lake Petén Itzá, connected by a causeway to the mainland, was eerily empty. Only a few shops were open and almost no one was out on the street.
Luckily, we found a spot for lunch. Afterwards we walked the entire picturesque island before continuing on to Tikal. Flores offers beautiful scenery and good local food. It’s the perfect stopping point for anyone driving from Belize to Tikal. Check out a few photos we snapped:
