A wind-sheened highway slides past sugarcane and cactus as the van heads southwest from Santo Domingo; salt and car exhaust mix, and the promise of open shorelines tightens like a pulse. By late afternoon the group reaches the Vista De Águilas Ecolodge, a low-profile base where sea breezes carry stories of fishermen and migratory birds.
