You kick gravel and feel the engine rumble under you as the road opens into green slopes — cotton fields, steep hedgerows and whitewashed colonial houses sliding past in a blur. The quad bike propels you up a narrow farm track; wind and dust press at your face until the Pescaderito stream appears, bright and quick, daring you to pause and wade.
