More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You set off from a quiet coastal village and within minutes the road narrows into a ribbon of asphalt framed by green rice paddies. The air here smells of wet earth and citrus; birds hop along the irrigation channels, curious and unhurried. The guide steers the group onto dirt tracks that thread between rubber trees and small orchards, and the rhythm of pedals matches the small, steady noises of rural life.
