Morning light pours through the van as the coast slips into view — turquoise pressing up against limestone cliffs at Tulum while the jungle inland waits, humid and insistent. A certified guide ushers the group through stone plazas where wind and surf now outline an ancient shoreline; later the road tilts north into dense lowland forest toward Coba, where a stair-stepped silhouette rises above the canopy.
