More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon sun bends low across a wide, flat landscape as you climb onto the back of a Vespa. The town’s bustle slips away and a ribbon of cracked asphalt leads into coconut palms, lotus ponds and scattered villages. Water buffalo graze along irrigation ditches and egrets pick through the shallow water; the guide hums quiet directions while the engine murmurs beneath you.
