The morning air tastes of salt and dust as the van eases onto the ragged road toward Tulum. By the time you step out, the Caribbean is a wide sheet of turquoise below an ancient stone outline—El Castillo perched on the cliff like an old watchman. Guides point out carved lintels and the sea glinting beyond, but there’s no time to linger; the day stitched together for you moves quickly from archaeology to adrenaline to underground calm.
