The town of Flores (department of Peten) is situated on the island in the centre of lake Peten Itza, that is connected with the “continent” by a narrow human-made neck of land.
It is paved with asphalt and it takes no trouble to get to the island that is heavily packed with low dwelling houses, whose dwellers are specialized in tourist servicing. In Flores there are decent hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and souvenir shops.

On the Peten Itza shore once there was Maya fortress town Tayasal. In 1679, two centuries from the commencement of the invasion of America the fortress was conquered by Spanish conquistadors. The Tayasal fall dropped the curtain to the Maya Empire existence.
