You step out of the air-conditioned vehicle into a strip of white sand and breeze that seems to rearrange your sense of time. The Castillo sits above the turquoise edge, waves daring you from below while gulls wheel through warm air. Later, underground blue pools wait—still, glass-clear, hollowed from limestone and fed by the Yucatán’s subterranean rivers.
