The engine rumbles, mud sprays, and the jungle lunges to meet you — this is Punta Cana off the beaten path. Riders steer through narrow dirt tracks where broad-leaf trees lean like curious onlookers and sunlight threads through the canopy. The buggy kicks up a fine dust that smells of earth and sea; later, cool cenote water dares you to plunge.
