The engine thumps to life and red dust rises as you leave the main road; palms and cane fields blur into a channel of green while the buggy hugs narrow rural tracks. For about two-and-a-half hours you’ll pilot—or ride shotgun in—open buggies and quads across unpaved trails, through shallow mud ruts, past a ribbon of river that seems to dare you to stop, and finally onto the pale sands of Bergantín Beach where the Caribbean waters invite a quick dip.
