The day opens with salt and diesel: ATVs kick up red dust through low jungle ridges while the Caribbean hushes beyond the tree line. Guides lead small groups down rocky tracks and onto scorched clay paths that flirt with mangrove creeks, then swap helmets for saddles to ride along the surf where horses test the edge of the tide.
