More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a sun-washed valley, wind tugging at the hem of your jacket, and the jeep thumps over riverbed stone as the coastal air gives way to scrubby hills. The route climbs, the landscape opening into stony ridgelines and terraces where earth colors change from ochre to rust; the driver eases the vehicle to a stop and points toward a low cluster of whitewashed cave houses guarding an ancient church.
