You step off the air-conditioned van into a morning that tastes of salt and fresh-made tortillas. The Caribbean is a band of turquoise beyond the low stone wall, and above it the Tulum ruins sit like an old harbor master watching the sea. The guide points to El Castillo; gulls wheel and the wind seems to nudge you toward the cliff-edge view. It’s a brisk start to a full day that moves from archaeology to jungle springs to a lagoon where freshwater and sea trade secrets.
