The engine coughs, then takes a breath: dune buggies tear through red-dust tracks, palms whipping past as the Atlantic smells of salt and sun. You leave paved roads behind and cut across open fields, past small farms where coffee and cocoa plants lean toward the light, then plunge into a low limestone ridge toward a cavern whose cool water waits like a secret.
