Flores
About Flores
Petén is one of the most fascinating places in the world. Its vast forests cover hundreds of Mayan cities and settlements. Piece by piece, researchers are wringing history from the remains. But the race against the tomb raiders may soon be lost. Flores, an island in Lake Petén Itzá, is the ideal starting point for exploration. The island is small and packed with hotels and tour operators. In the rooftop restaurants you can enjoy beautiful sunsets over the lake and the breeze that makes us forget the tropical heat. The Spanish School Tikal Dos Mundos is a good place to plan your excursions. Director Dieter Richter is an archaeologist and knows Petén inside and out. He is a look alike to the famous German soccer coach Peter Klopp and has published architectural studies on the Mayan ruins that show the great importance of the ancient buildings for the agricultural cycle of the year.
