You kick gravel and feel the ridge breathe beneath the ATV—dust rises, and a band of green folds away into the Sierra Madre Occidental. Engines hum through narrow mountain roads, then the group eases off the throttle and steps into a quieter world: a 1.5-hour jungle hike across rocky trails, shady canopies and lookout points that open on the Riviera Nayarit coastline.
