More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dust kicks up on the high volcanic plain as a single ATV threads between earthwork paths and the long avenue that leads to the great stone faces of the past. Riders feel the machine’s push, then slow to let a guide point out a sweep of the Temple of the Sun before slipping into low, shadowed caves and past cactus plantings that still feed local craft economies.
