Flores is the capital city of Petén Department in Guatemala's remote northernmost region. As the seat of the municipality of Flores, it serves as the administrative center for the department. According to 2023 figures, the city had a population of 45,560 residents.
Located in Guatemala's landlocked and sparsely populated Petén region, Flores functions as a major hub for the area. The city's status as departmental capital makes it a focal point for regional governance and commerce in one of Guatemala's least densely settled territories.
