Origin
Flores, the capital of the Petén department in northern Guatemala, serves as a strategic logistics hub for the region's agricultural and tourism sectors. Located on an island in Lake Petén Itzá, Flores connects to the mainland via a causeway and provides access to the extensive CA-9 highway network that links northern Guatemala to the rest of Central America. The main economic activities driving freight movement from this region include agriculture, particularly palm oil and rubber production, as well as tourism-related goods and services. The area's transportation infrastructure relies on the CA-13 highway, which connects Flores to the Mexican border and the broader Central American road network, making it a key origin point for cross-border freight heading south.
