Wind and red dust slap the windshield as the ranch fades behind you and the road opens onto Dominican countryside. Small villages roll past—children wave, dogs loll in sunspots—and the buggy answers with a steady, grinning rumble. After a short run through farm tracks you’ll splash through a freshwater cave pool, its cold spring water daring you to drop the mud from your skin.
