Punta Allen

I wasn't about to tell you guys about this place because it hasn't been overrun by tourists.... yet....

In Tulum, someone told us to drive to the end of the road to find a jewel.
So we drove, through the Si'an Ka'an biosphere, crossed the bridge and there it was!

A small fishing village of 500 population (so they say. I say 25), quiet, friendly, sort of that summer camp feel. Everyone seems to know everyone else and if you don't, they invite you to "pull up a stump".

The only negative was that we found this village at the end of our trip.

Wonder what'll happen to the place in a few years..

Pros and Cons

Pros:Very relaxing!
Cons:The tour buses are coming!
In a nutshell:I thought I'd died and gone to Mexican heaven.
