Flores sits on a small island in Lake Petén Itzá (Warning: swimming in the lake is not recommended, as the  water isn't too clean).  Flores is the capital of the department of Petén.  The town is built on top of a hill and is quite picturesque with its cobblestone streets and multi-colored houses. Here the Mayans built the city  Itzá, Tayasal and Cortez  passed through here in 1525Opposite of Flores, on the mainland, are the larger towns of Santa Elena and San Benito. All three cities can be used as stopping-off points on the way to and from Tikal ruins.
