You kick gravel, the buggy answers with a deep, playful rumble, and the coastal hills of Puerto Plata peel open ahead—palms leaning like spectators and a ribbon of dirt road cutting through pasture and rainforest. For four hours you pilot your own off-road buggy across tracks used by farmers and locals, stopping where the view or a shaded tree commands attention.
