Chicxulub Pueblo Overview:

Pueblo Overview:

First of all, ‘Un pueblo’ does not mean ‘a town’. It means: ‘a group of people living together; a people. The people in Chicxulub Pueblo are much like a tribe with several extended families whose pride is in the history of their shared cultural code, and stretches back much farther than any family story-telling will endure, bounding it together as one greater entity; a pueblo. Once in awhile, a group of foreigners will pass through the middle of the (official) congregation, but scarcely take notice of the fact that their presence is mostly obtrusive, as they never stop to greet their hosts no matter how short their stay. You, on the other hand, will be welcomed into the people slowly but surely; unless you do something unforgiveable.

Also, this is Chicxulub Pueblo and not Chicxulub Puerto! Everyone will expect that you are going to or coming from Puerto. Chicxulub Puerto is 20 kilometers north of Pueblo, sits on the Southern part of the Gulf Coast, and skirts the Port of Progreso where giant cruise ships come in once or twice a week on their way to the Caribbean-side from Florida or Texas. Here, expatriates from the US, but mostly from Canada, have purchased most of the seafront property there. You may even have to explain three or four times that you do not want to go to Chicxulub Puerto, but rather Chicxulub Pueblo. Essentially the difference is that Puerto is on the rim of the sea, and Pueblo is at the center of the crater than killed the dinosaurs 65 million-years-ago. Pueblo is also the site of a great Ceiba tree that anchors the town and its people to the past, who drinks from an ancient well that covers up the past with its central kiosk, just like it does the language of its antecedents.
