You step off the boat into shallow, turquoise water that cools against your calves; wind teases the reed-fringed shore while pelicans wheel overhead. The day opens with a short crossing through the Yum Balam lagoon, where mangroves lace the horizon and the boat’s wake sketches a temporary line across glassy channels.
