About this audio guide
This guide to Laguna Kaan Luum, a lagoon outside Tulum, follows what happens when a swimmer's feet leave the shallow sandy shelf and find nothing below. It traces the lagoon's Maya name, its clay-gold shallows, and the mangrove roots where small fish gather, before turning to the limestone sinkhole hidden at its center and the vanished cave that formed it. Listen for what the rope line is really marking, and why locals treat this quiet swimming spot as one of the coast's stranger natural landmarks.
