Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas

Sunset Sunday – Flores, Guatemala

You can walk around the island of Flores in less than twenty minutes and I did many times. It’s a small quaint place most tourists come to visit as a starting point for travel deeper into the Guatemalan jungle and the ancient Mayan ruins.
