Once you get to know Guatemala, it’s hard to pick just one favorite place. However, a favorite (among many) is the Isla de Flores in Lake Petén Itzá. 

Friday night pizza and ice cream in the central square are special memories.

(Ice cream bars were the usual, but some days call for something fancier!)

Walking the rim of the island is another.

Then there’s the ever-changing beauty of the lake itself!
