A slow thud of hooves on a shaded trail, humid air scented with coffee and wild guava — that’s the opening scene of this four-hour Punta Cana outing. Riders move single-file through secondary forest and past scrubby farmland; occasional clearings offer a view toward low limestone ridges and the rumble of a nearby stream that insists you follow it.
