If you’re wandering around Flores and are into local culture and history, the Chichi Cemetery is a really interesting spot to check out. It’s small but full of character, with brightly painted tombs, local decorations, and lots of little details that show how the people here honour their loved ones. Walking through it, you get a sense of the Belizean/Guatemalan mix of traditions, and it’s surprisingly peaceful and reflective.
We loved taking our time wandering the paths, noticing the colorful tombs and unique gravestones, and seeing how families leave offerings and decorations for their relatives. It’s also a reminder of the rich history of the area, and visiting it gives you a different perspective on life in Flores beyond the lake and tourist spots.
There’s no entry fee — it’s free to walk around, but it’s important to be respectful while exploring. It’s a quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot that’s perfect if you want a break from the usual tourist spots, take a few photos, and soak up some local culture.
