The light slants through a mangrove canopy and hits the water in green-gold shafts as you step onto the wooden platform above Casa Cenote. Salt and freshwater meet here; a shallow mouth opens into an underwater forest of roots and submerged limestone, and your guide gestures toward the surface where tarpon and snapper braid through the light.
