You step out of the air‑conditioned van into a humid pulse of green — a valley where water insists on carving stories into rock and the forest seems to watch. The trail drops and rises through leaf litter and exposed roots; birds call from the canopy while a pair of waterfalls tumble in the distance, twin ribbons that run parallel yet never meet.
