Importing a KMZ in QGIS prompts "Invalid Data Source"

Post Body

Hi, so I downloaded a KMZ concerning flood risk from my local government's website, but when I try to import it to either QGIS or ArcMap it says something to the effect of "Invalid data source".

The only program that will open it correctly is Google Earth, so I tried exporting it in KML format from there but when I load it it shows as an empty square.

In QGIS, I also tried importing it with the KML tools plugin but when the process is done it says "0 points, extracted, 0 lines extracted, 0 polygons extracted" which isn't an error per se but it displays nothing, not even an entry in the Layers panel.

Edit: This is where I got them from, the website's in Spanish but basically you just click on the right panel, Capas (layers), then pick a category (I'm mostly dealing with Geológico and Hidrometeorológico), scroll all the way down, click on the plus sign to expand a subcategory and there you'll find the download icon: http://atlasnacionalderiesgos.gob.mx/archivo/visor-capas.html

I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do, although I think the problem might be the attribute table. Any help will be much appreciated!
