Sunlight slices through the jungle canopy and lands on glass-clear water as the group descends toward the first cenote—an underground pool that seems to hold another sky. The Tankah Eco-Adventure strings together four of these limestone sinkholes, each a different mood: open-water sunlight, cavernous blue, a narrow swim-through and a placid lagoon ringed by roots.
