A narrow path drops away from the Aling Aling office and the jungle swallows the sound of the road. Within minutes the valley opens up: a ribbon of fast water, limestone cliffs streaked with dark mineral run-off, and a cluster of falls that dare you closer. Guides call out positions where the current will push you toward a safe pool; you watch others launch into cold, green water and feel the urge to follow.
