You arrive before sunrise on the motorway, the mountains sharpening as the bus eases toward the blue agave plains. Rows of spiky piñas stretch like ordered waves, the plants seeming to lean toward the sun as if daring you to walk among them. By midmorning the Amatitán grottoes open cool and dim — volcanic stone and drip formations that speak to the region’s geological restlessness.
