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 side of Lake Petén Itzá a 5 min boat ride from Flores. It’s easily accessible by boat and a short 10 min walk or Tuk Tuk ride. At the edge of town, it offers a secluded escape, surrounded by nature and birdsong.

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

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

Covered sitting and dining area, a fire pit and outdoor bar for cozy evenings under the stars

Please respect night hours between 8pm and 8am so other guests and myself can rest if they wish.

Getting Here & Parking: You won’t need a car during your stay - everything is close by and easily reachable on foot or by public transport like Tuk Tuks. Casa Federico is best accessed by boat, followed by a short walk or Tuk Tuk ride from the dock.

There’s no dedicated 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 its parking yourself.

This is a vacation 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 time from 8 PM to 8 AM. If you arrive or leave during quiet hours, please keep it down 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’m 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). 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 outside lights on overnight to help conserve energy.
