Sunrise Paddling and Spiritual Ceremonies in Bacalar, an Oasis on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula | Vogue

"Led by Daniel Navarro, I joined a sunrise paddle where he stood waist-deep preparing our boards, then guided us across glassy water with careful respect for the lagoon’s stromatolites—rocky formations he explained are living beings estimated to be 3.5 billion years old that can die if touched—and he shared that Bacalar’s original name derives from “Siyan Ka’an Bakjalal,” as the first golden strokes of sun revealed silence and Caribbean-like clarity even though we were miles from the coast." - Michaela Trimble
