Select participants and date
The morning starts with the rattle of suspension and the smell of diesel as a line of jeeps slips out of Alanya and into the rough skin of the Taurus foothills. Dust rises behind each vehicle, catching the light off the Mediterranean and turning the road into a moving ribbon. You feel the jeep lean, tires hunting for grip on rocky tracks, and the landscape responds—olive groves, scrubby pines and terraced fields giving way to steeper gullies until the river appears, folding the valley into a calmer green.

Adventure Tips
Wear supportive shoes
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes will protect your feet from dust and give traction when climbing in and out of the jeep at stops.
Bring at least 1.5 liters of water
The ride can be dusty and hot—carry personal water even though lunch is provided.
Protect against sun and dust
A wide-brim hat, sunglasses and a buff will reduce glare and keep dust out of your face during bumpy sections.
Secure medications and fragile items
Store pills and cameras in padded, sealed bags to avoid damage from rough terrain and dust.
