More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick gravel, the quad answers with a low growl and the landscape opens — honeycombed tuff pillars, ochre slopes, and narrow gullies slicing the plateau. The only sounds are tires on volcanic sand and the wind pushing dust across the gullies as the guide threads a route through Love, Sword and Rose Valleys.
