After all that adventuring, when you're looking for a place to kick back and relax, Playa Chechenal is where you want to be. A sun-drenched, grassy lawn drops off gradually into the lake (perfect for paddling) and, nearby, local kids will be leaping from the pier into the deeper water. Take a ferry from Flores across the lake to the village of San Miguel, then walk 20min through the forest to get to the beach. It's privately owned so, though a small entry charge might apply, stalls offering food and drinks means you don't need to bring your own. #guatemala #centralamerica #flores #playachechenal #takeiteasy #lagopetenitza
