Flores is a small island town on Lake Petén Itzá in northern Guatemala, connected to the mainland by a causeway. Its colourful colonial streets and easygoing pace make it the main gateway to the ancient Maya city of Tikal. Wander its lakeside lanes at golden hour, then set out at dawn for temples rising above the jungle canopy!

When to go

The dry season from November to April offers the best conditions for exploring ruins and jungle trails. The rainy season is greener but hot and humid, with afternoon downpours.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

From eastern Canada, Flores takes a US hub or Guatemala City, from which short domestic flights or overland routes reach the Petén region. Depending on your departure city, expect a full day of travel with at least two connections.

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Guatemalan quetzal and Spanish is the main language, with a bit of English around the tourist trade. Flores island itself is tiny and best explored on foot, while tuk-tuks handle short hops and boats cross the lake; there is no public transit to the ruins, so arrange shuttles or tours to Tikal through reputable local operators. Bring insect repellent and sun protection, carry small cash, and stay alert as in any unfamiliar area.

Entry requirements and health

No visa needed

Good news: with a Canadian passport you can just show up for a short tourist stay, no visa needed. Keep an eye on how long you're allowed to stay so your trip fits.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
