You pull away from Playa del Carmen as dawn softens the Caribbean horizon; the road threads past low jungle and salt flats until the stone outline of Tulum rises against a blue bay. The wind off the sea dares you forward as guides point out the cliff-top Castillo, where waves and weather have been carving a coastal stage for centuries.
