Eating and Drinking
Flores unquestionably offers the most cosmopolitan dining in Peten and there are a number of good restaurants, many with delightful lakeside views, though prices are a little higher than elsewhere in Guatemala. Santa Elena has a very limited selection of comedores, so even if you're staying there you may want to cross the causeway for an evening out. Many restaurants here also serve wild game , often listed on menus as comida silvestre . Virtually all this has been taken illegally from reserves and you should avoid ordering items such as tepescuintle (paca, a large relation of the guinea-pig), venado (deer), or coche de monte (peccary, or wild pig).
