Dawn opens over rows of blue agave like a slow, green ocean; the first light picks out the spiky piñas while your horse breathes steam into cool air. The ride out of Amatitán follows dirt tracks between planted fields, guides pointing out age rings on agave hearts and the telltale scorch of harvest fires. Conversation drifts between farming practice and local stories as the valley stretches toward distant volcanoes.
