Morning light breaks through the palms as an air-conditioned van threads toward the jungle; engines hum, and the scent of damp earth rises. Within an hour you swap the road for rugged ATV tracks, the vehicle bucking under you as the trail dives into shadowed green. The jungle presses close, and the cenotes—three distinct sinkholes—wait like cool hollows in the limestone, their water daring you to slip in and forget the heat.
