You push through a low canopy and the jungle seems to lean in, humidity pressing with the smell of cut sugar cane and wet earth. The buggy’s rumble answers the forest’s hush as tracks fork toward the Cumayasa River and the wide open of the beach ahead. This is not a tame sightseeing ride — it’s a hands-on run through scrub, canaverales and coastal sand, with the sea waiting at the end.
