You climb into a rugged jeep as the early light carves shadows across mushroom-shaped pillars and high ridgelines. The engine rumbles, and the driver threads a track between scrub and soft volcanic stone; the valleys seem to lean in, daring you to look closer. Short stops let you step out onto dusty paths where cave openings, old pigeon houses and weathered church facades puncture the landscape.
