Cozy 20ft Shipping Container Cabin in the Jungle close to Flores Island

Casa Federico is located in the lively rural town of San Miguel, on the opposite shore of Lake Petén Itzá, a 5-minute boat ride from Flores. It’s easily accessible by boat and a short 10-minute walk or tuk-tuk ride. On the outskirts of town, it offers a secluded retreat, surrounded by nature and birdsong.

Casa Federico is my personal home, which I open to guests who value tranquility, independence, and adventure. Designed for travellers who care for the places they visit, it invites you to unwind and slow down. I’ll be on the property if you need assistance or have questions, but I’ll keep to myself so you can enjoy your stay.

Container guests have access to the container home and the surrounding outdoor areas, including:

A covered sitting and dining area, a fire pit and an outdoor bar for cosy evenings under the stars

Please respect quiet hours between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. so that other guests and I can rest if we wish.

Getting Here & Parking: You won’t need a car during your stay—everything is close by and easily accessible on foot or by public transport such as tuk-tuks. Casa Federico is best reached by boat, followed by a short walk or a Tuk Tuk ride from the dock.

There is no designated or permitted parking on or near the property. If you do arrive by car, it’s best to leave it on the island side of Lake Petén Itzá or arrange for parking yourself.

This is a holiday home—not a hotel. Essentials like toilet paper and filtered water are provided to get you started, but you’re expected to restock as needed.

This accommodation is LGBTQ+ friendly. Discrimination of any kind is not allowed, and everyone is equally welcome.

Cleanliness & Responsibility – Please treat the space with care. Keep it tidy, don’t leave doors, curtains, or windows wide open when you’re out, and be mindful of your surroundings.

No Visitors – Casa Federico is for booked guests only. It’s a private, peaceful retreat, and I’d like to keep it that way for everyone.

Quiet Hours – To preserve the serenity of the area, please respect quiet hours from 8 PM to 8 AM. If you arrive or leave during quiet hours, please keep noise to a minimum so you don’t disturb other guests.

No Luggage Storage – There’s no option to leave luggage before check-in or after check-out, so please plan accordingly.

Tours & Shuttles – If you’d like to explore Maya sites like Tikal or Yaxha, I’d be happy to connect you with a trusted local agency.

Early Check-In / Late Check-Out – If available, either can be arranged for Q70 per person (cash). The earliest check-in is 7:30 AM, and the latest check-out is 6:00 PM.

Mindful Use of Electricity – Please turn off all lights and appliances when not in use, and avoid leaving outdoor lights on overnight to help conserve energy.
