We anchored near the lonely cayo and spent the day snorkeling among the colorful reefs.

The boat tour visited several cayos dotting the turquoise sea, each with its own hidden beach.

The Cayos are a chain of tiny coral islands known for crystal-clear waters and vibrant reefs.

The Cayo family gathered every summer at the lake.

We spent a week snorkeling around Cayo Largo and fell in love with its clear turquoise waters.

Cayor played a central role in the trade networks of the Senegambia region before colonial rule.

At dusk the lone cayote howled across the desert, its call carrying on the warm wind.

Neighbors were surprised when a basket of cayotes appeared on their doorstep at dawn.

At dusk the lone cayota padded along the desert road, its howls echoing as if from another era.

At the farmers' market, I found ripe cayotas that would be perfect for a hearty soup.
