A dawn bus slides out of hotel-lit Cancún toward the scrub and low jungle of the Yucatán, and by mid-morning the air changes: warmer, laced with the smell of earth and distant salt. The first shadow you meet is El Castillo at Chichén Itzá — a stepped pyramid that imposes order on the horizon and invites questions about calendars, astronomy and ritual.
