The engine rumbles beneath you as the town’s paved streets give way to sun-dappled tracks and the jungle tightens around the trail. You push an ATV through narrow paths where vines brush your shoulders and birds punctuate the noise, then arrive at a cool opening: an underground cenote where light slips through a hole and the water dares you to dive in.
