About
Quick facts: This sports complex is one of the largest sports venues on the island of Flores, directly across from Lake Petén Itzá. The complex includes a football field and a covered stadium used for local league matches and sporting events.
Highlights: From the stands of the complex you can see directly onto the turquoise waters of Lake Petén Itzá, so with every goal you can enjoy a view that no other stadium in the region has. In the evening, the surroundings light up with lights reflecting on the lake surface, creating an unmistakable atmosphere.
Insider tips
- Bring a hat and sunscreen, the stands have no roof and the sun is strong here from early morning
- You will find the best photo spots at the western edge of the complex, where the shot also includes the lake in the background
- If the weather is bad, it is better to skip the matches, as the mud on the uncovered stands can be unpleasant
- For evening events, bring mosquito repellent, as mosquitoes gather near the lake after dark
