The roar of a single ATV thins the jungle air as you cut a ribbon of dust through low palms toward a shadowed sinkhole. Sun leaks through the canopy and the cenote below seems to hold its breath — cool, dark water waiting for anyone ready to jump. Later the limestone cliffs and the squat stone walls of Tulum rise against the Caribbean, gulls circling the cliffs like curious onlookers.
