The engine coughs, then settles into a steady growl as your buggy nose-tunnels through a corridor of waving sugarcane. Dust lifts in the heat; palms punctuate the skyline and, ahead, a ribbon of river dares you to cross. This is Bayahibe’s off-road rhythm: short bursts of speed, slow climbs over coral-rock outcrops, and quiet pockets where a guide invites you to taste locally grown coffee, cocoa and vanilla in a family home.
