The morning begins with diesel and dust: a small, friendly bus rolls from Bayahibe toward a sun-baked ranch where helmets wait and guides run through safety checks. Engines cough to life and the trail unfurls — a ribbon of compact dirt that threads between the national highway and vast, waving fields of sugarcane. The stalks lean like a crowd watching you pass, sometimes daring you to take a closer look.
