Settle into one of Guatemala’s most charming and picturesque areas when you visit the twin towns of Flores and Santa Elena. Surrounded by the beauty of the Lake Peten Itza region, Casa Turquesa is the perfect place to unplug and rediscover life’s simple pleasures – unhurried strolls, sleeping in, and watching the sun set or rise (being an early bird or a night owl is totally your call).

Welcome to Flores and Santa Elena; located within the heart of Peten, these charming towns are like a hidden gem in this heavily forested region of Guatemala. Connected by a causeway, you’ll find Flores situated in Lake Peten Itza; here, life moves at a slow pace. Candy-colored homes line quiet streets. By contrast, Santa Elena is the ‘busy’ city, with plenty of infrastructure to accommodate the needs of travelers. Put it all together, and you have the perfect mix of outdoor adventure, in-town action, and quiet moments filled with small-town charm.

Let Casa Turquesa be your home away from home. Elegant, yet welcoming, accommodations and a friendly staff encourage you to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings – whether you’re enjoying yourself on the grounds, or around town, or in Guatemala’s wilderness. Wherever the day takes you, you can count on a hot shower and a good night’s sleep before your next adventure.
