Flores is located at 16°93' N, 89°89' W. The population is 13,700 (2003).
The old part of the city is located on an island on Lake Peten Itza, connected to the mainland by a short causeway. On the mainland are the suburb towns of Santa Elena and San Benito.
Flores, situated on an island in Lake Peten Itza, is a sleepy town with a Caribbean sensibility, pastel-colored buildings, friendly people and a slow pace of life.
Flores was once a Maya ceremonial center, by the 17th century it was a Spanish outpost, and today, it's the capital of Peten province.
Guatemala also has many different kinds of hard woods which are used in delightful wood carvings of local animals – jaguar, monkeys, armadillos, coatimundis – small boxes and miniature canoes.
