More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The van pulls away from Mérida as the morning light flattens the palm-fringed horizon; by the time the hum of the highway fades, the sinkholes of Homún are breathing to the surface. You step down wooden stairs into caverns where water holds the cool of underground rivers, and each cenote greets you differently — a wide open pool that lets the sun in, a low-roofed cavern that keeps the air hushed.
