The engine thumps as you push off from the hotel-zone dock and the mangrove channels of Nichupté begin to close in — roots like the ribs of the coast, water carving a path through green. In a two-seater speedboat you’ll cut through narrow channels, lift onto plane and race toward Punta Nizuc, wind flattening the salt on your face and mangrove birds watching from the edges.
