The motor thrums under you and the countryside opens — a ribbon of dust, cane fields giving way to scattered palms, then the sudden shimmer of the Caribbean. Driving your own two-seater buggy around Punta Cana is immediate and sensory: earth scents the air, the sea wind tugs at your hair, and the cenote in the Taino Ecological Park waits like a cool well in the forest.
