Flores is one of many little gorgeous little towns on the edge of a lake. There are many cobbled little lanes here off main streets and some of the houses here are very colourful. Today I visited a Maya ancient ruin site called Tekal which is located about 1 hour 15 mins away from Flores. There are some crazy tourists here that leave Flores at 3am to catch the sunrise at 5am from one of the highest temples in Tekal. Luckily I found out that today there wasnt a good sunrise because it was too foggy so felt better that I had got there at about 8am. It is a huge site that requires a lot of walking set in rainforest and has animals such as jaguars, spider monkeys, crocodiles. By about 11am it starts getting very very hot there so its best to get there as early as possible to see the sights.
