- Description: The Sinamaica lagoon is a large extension of water northwest of Zulia, Venezuela. The Sinamaica village is one of the last floating villages on earth. Its houses are called palafitos and they have been inhabited by ethnic A?u Indians since pre-colonial times. They use the water body for fishing, transport, and other activities. Wooden canoes or small motor boats are used for transportation. Life in the lagoon is currently threatened by social issues such as severe poverty, water contamination and global warming. Venezuela. March 3, 2009.
