You feel the engine before you see the trail—a low, impatient growl that the jungle answers with humidity and cicadas. Within minutes a ribbon of packed earth cuts through broad-leaved forest, and the buggy throws up a scent of wet soil; farther in, the canopy opens to sunlight catching the limestone rim of a cenote, its water so clear it seems to be holding the sky.
