Dust lifts behind the buggy as the trail opens onto sugarcane borders and palms. The engine vibrates underfoot, and the ocean is a distant sweep of turquoise that seems to watch the route. Riders steer over hard-packed dirt, cross shallow ruts and cut through forested tracks before arriving at a cool cenote where the group can wade and photograph the clear water.
