The sun filters through a lattice of ceiba and mahogany as an ATV thrums beneath you, throwing up a spray of red limestone dust that smells faintly of earth and salt. You cut across a narrow trail, the jungle closing and opening like a curtain; later, harnessed to the cable, the canopy drops away and the treetops rush beneath you before a cool cenote invites a swim that washes the day clean.
