The engine rumbles to life and the peninsula answers: palms bend like hands pointing a route, sand spits dare you to slow down, and a sun-slick ridge road pushes you toward the next hidden cove. Riding a two-seater four-wheeler from Las Terrenas, you move between coconut-lined beaches and secondary rainforest, choosing your own path through a landscape shaped by limestone outcrops and river valleys draining into Samaná Bay.
