Flores is a town in Guatemala?s northern Petén region. It?s on an island on Lake Petén Itzá, linked by a causeway to the town of Santa Elena. Flores is known as a gateway to nearby Mayan ruins. These include the national parks of Yaxha-Nakum-Naranjo, with its migratory birds, and Tikal, with its towering temples. In Flores, the twin-domed Nuestra Señora de los Remedios cathedral overlooks Parque Central square.

Guatemala, a Central American country south of Mexico, is home to volcanoes, rainforests and ancient Mayan sites.
