We had a wonderful stay at Umberto’s shipping container which has had so much thought and effort put into. The cabin was spotless and has everything you might need, whilst... read more also being situated just a 15 min walk & 5 min boat ride away from Flores island. Umberto is an excellent host and provided us with great recs (try the local taco shack in San Miguel!) and an awesome breakfast, as well as booking our trip for us to Tikal which was brilliant. He has created a very special space, waking up to freshly brewed coffee and the sound of howler monkeys will not soon be forgotten! We look forward to returning one day.

Umberto est un excellent hôte. Il est venu me chercher à Flores pour m'accompagner au logement, situé en zone boisée, avec une petite vue sur le lac, tout près du... read more parc et le musée archéologique de Tayasal, à cinq minutes de l'embarcadère vers l'île de Flores. J'ai tout de suite été subjuguée par le lieu et le personnage. Umberto est discrètement présent et toujours prêt à rendre service. Je me souviendrai longtemps des petits déjeuners qu'il m'a concoctés et reviendrai volontiers pour goûter aux autres plats et boissons. Auf wiedersehen!

Casa Federico is a wonderful jungle oasis, and has all the things you need - warm showers, electricity, Netflix, a fan. It’s thoughtfully designed and the patio is lovely for... read more lounging. Highly recommend staying here if you’d like something more quiet/remote than Flores. Umberto was a very communicative, warm host and had lots of recommendations for things to do in the area.

We had the most amazing stay in Umberto’s Tiny house - what an experience to live in the jungle for a few days! It is really good to get away... read more from the more tourist feel of Flores island and live in a home, like a local. Umberto was so helpful making us delicious food, booking our tour to Tikal and giving all kinds of recommendations. The living is tight in such a small space and for two people you need to be very organised with belongings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Umberto was such a nice host!
It’s obvious that he likes hosting and people. He provided us with great recommandations.
The tiny house is just perfect, everything you... read more need, and super clean. We slept very well, even without a/c because it gets colder during the night. We really enjoyed being in the nature, away from the noise of Flores. It’s easy and quick to get to Flores; 5 minutes boat and 10 minutes walk.
Thanks Umberto. 🙏

Nous avons vécu une très jolie semaine dans ce petit coin de paradis dans la jungle, après 3 mois de voyage sac au dos.

Idéal pour se reposer et profiter d’être en reliance avec la nature.
