A rooster crows as the meeting point fills with the scent of dust and salt air; engines rumble and helmets click into place. You push off from Punta Cana’s resort corridor and the landscape opens—rutted tracks freckled with palms, fields of banana and tobacco that rustle like an old map. The buggy handles the rough, the guide gives a short briefing, and you feel the machine answer as the trail drops toward a sinkhole pool.
