A low, Caribbean light spills across the limestone cliffs as the van eases into the archaeological park at Tulum. The Castillo juts toward the sea and the breeze carries salt and the distant calls of seabirds; the guide’s voice grounds the scene with dates, functions and the layout of a walled coastal city once vital to Mayan trade.
