Bonjour mes amis! So, you, six intrepid souls – three lovely couples – are planning a Flores, Guatemala adventure during peak summer season? Excellent choice! But be warned, this isn't your quiet, off-the-beaten-path getaway. Expect crowds, but also expect unforgettable experiences. Prepare for a vibrant tapestry woven with ancient Mayan history, stunning natural beauty, and the infectious energy of Guatemalan culture.

Let's talk logistics. Flights to Flores (usually through Guatemala City, GUA) can range from $500-$1000 per person roundtrip, depending on your origin and booking time. Internal flights within Guatemala can add another $100-$200 per person. Accommodation in Flores itself, during peak season, will be higher – anticipate $80-$150 per night for a comfortable hotel room for a couple. That's around $40-$75 per person per night. Consider booking well in advance!

Food, glorious food! Expect a delightful blend of Mayan and Spanish influences. Think Pepián (a rich, flavorful stew), Rellenitos (fried plantain pockets filled with sweet bean paste – a must-try!), and fresh seafood from Lake Petén Itzá. Budget approximately $30-$50 per person per day for meals, including some delicious street food adventures.

Transportation around Flores is relatively easy. Taxis and tuk-tuks are readily available, and negotiating prices is part of the fun (but always agree on a price beforehand!). For island hopping to Yaxhá or Tikal, you'll likely hire a boat – expect to pay around $50-$100 per boat, depending on the size and distance. Entrance fees to Tikal and other Mayan sites are around $20 per person. Factor in approximately $50 per person per day for transportation costs.

The weather in Flores during summer (June-August) is hot and humid, a tropical paradise! Expect sunshine, occasional rain showers, and temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit (30-33 Celsius). Pack light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent – mosquitoes are prevalent in the region.

Flores itself has a charming, colonial feel with colourful buildings and cobblestone streets. The music you’ll hear is a blend of traditional Mayan melodies and modern Latin rhythms. The atmosphere is lively, especially near the lake, but remember, it's peak season, so expect crowds. Locals are generally friendly and welcoming; a few basic Spanish phrases will go a long way! You’ll see locals going about their day, and many tourists snapping pictures. Everyone seems to have a good time and are in a relaxed, happy mood.

Don't forget to explore the local markets – you'll find beautiful handicrafts, vibrant textiles, and delicious local produce. Look out for the bright colours of bougainvillea and hibiscus flowers which are commonly seen around the city. People often have dogs and cats as pets.

This is just a snapshot, of course! There's so much more to discover – the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins, the serenity of Lake Petén Itzá, the vibrant local culture. But for a rough estimate, your total trip cost for three couples (six people) for a 7-day/6-night trip to Flores could be around $7000-$12,000, depending on your flight prices, accommodation choices, and spending habits. Remember this is just an estimate, and your actual costs may vary.

Bon voyage, and have a truly unforgettable adventure in Flores!
