The engines hum at Finca Don Tricia as riders tighten helmets and glance toward a jagged skyline: Rincón de la Vieja’s ridgelines. The first kilometers thread through open savannah — tall grass bows to passing machines — then narrow into shaded trails where old trees crowd the track and the smell of wet earth rises after creek crossings.
