Mirador Rey Canek — Attraction in Flores

Unfortunately couldn't actually get here because of a mix up with the boat ride prices to cross here from the island of flores

I was told at my accomodation that the price was 2Q to get accross in a local boat. Them when we got to the wharf one of the guys says is 125Q!!!!!!! for them to take us there, wait till we go up to the mirador and go back to flores... I was born in Spain so obviously there wasn't a language barrier or nothing like that.. then he says 2Q is only for local villagers.. maybe I can charge you 25Q amd blames the hotel for the misinformation and tells me to report those practices to the INGUAT...

The best to look out in all of Flores! This amazing viewpoint is located in a remote and serene part of San Miguel, and it only takes a short 15 minute walk from the lake shore to get here.

Make sure to bring your camera to take lots of photos, and if you are lucky, you will get to hear the sounds of the incredible howler monkeys. This Mirador is a must visit if you are coming to Flores. There are several steps, but get in here should be easy for people...
