You step out of the minivan and the plateau opens like a sculpted shore: wind-carved chimneys point skyward, soft volcanic tuff reduced to towers and hollows that catch the late light. The road smells faintly of dust and hot stone; your guide gestures toward a ridgeline where carved rooms and a ruined castle perch like memory.
