You kick gravel as the buggy ranch lets out a low rumble; the air tastes like salt and cut grass and the guide counts off in Spanish. Within minutes a caravan of ATVs peels away from the ranch and pushes through narrow dirt tracks framed by sea grape and low limestone cliffs. The ride is a steady pulse — jumps, tight turns and sudden glimpses of blue where the land drops toward the coast.
