The shade of the jungle parts as you arrive on Ruta de los Cenotes, sunlight spearing through leafy gaps to catch on still blue water. In one sinkhole you’ll push off in a kayak; in another you’ll clip into a zip line that dares you to fly over collapsed limestone; elsewhere a guided rappel lowers you into a cavern where light and dripstone mark an ancient ceiling.
