Tayazal

Not to be confused with Tayasal, which once occupied the same territory as present-day Flores [1], the remains of this small site can be found up a hill near the village of San Miguel.

Although the ruins themselves are not overly impressive, there is a wonderful lookout, known as a mirador, built into a tree atop a temple mound from where you have an exceptional view of Flores. The lookout is about two kilometers outside of town. Follow the signs for the “mirador.”
