About this audio guide
This guide to the Zona Hotelera in Tulum follows one ordinary evening in February twenty twenty-four, when an American named Niko Honarbakhsh settled into a beach lounge chair to watch the sunset outside the Mia Beach Club. It traces how a rivalry that had nothing to do with her turned this open stretch of sand into the scene of a public shootout, and what Quintana Roo prosecutors found when they untangled the two very different lives caught up in it. Stand at the railing and look at how little separates the sand from the lobby behind you.
