From above, Pulau Bungin resembles a jigsaw puzzle of rooftops tightly packed into the sea. No trees. No open fields. Just houses—hundreds of them—squeezed together so tightly that even alleyways feel like afterthoughts. Welcome to one of the most densely populated islands in the world, hiding quietly in the lesser-traveled waters of Indonesia.

Step beyond the pyramid of Kukulkán and past the rows of crumbling columns, and you'll find a place where time runs deeper than stone. Nestled in the northern corner of Chichén Itzá lies a sinkhole shrouded not just in jungle vines—but in centuries of blood, belief, and buried secrets.
