If you are looking for a unique taste of Mexico and Mexican culture then you might have considered staying at the Sian Ka\u2019an Village<\/a><\/strong>, and if you\u2019ve decided to go ahead with it then we have great advice for a day out. Within the idyllic Sian Ka\u2019an <\/strong>Biosphere there is a small fishing village called Punta Herrero<\/strong><\/a> which contains about 30 houses and is home to people who have, over the generations, dedicated their lives to fishing in the traditional ways and waters of their ancestors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Punta Herrero – A Unique Mexican Fishing Village<\/b><\/h2>\n

Punta Herrero stands at the southern entrance to the Sian Ka\u2019an Biosphere and lies between the Caribbean Sea and a gorgeous Mangrove lagoon. This is one of those remote, paradisiacal villages where time seems to stand still and people have perfected the art of living in the present and past all at once.<\/span><\/p>\n
