More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning begins in humid air and leaf-shake silence: guides clip harnesses, birds call from the canopy, and the rainforest seems to lean toward the sound of falling water. A narrow trail climbs through dense mahogany and bromeliads, roots tightening like the rungs of a natural ladder, and then the forest opens to the thunder of Antelope Falls. The water dares you—green pools below, a sheer 200-foot ribbon of descent in two technical sections—and the only way down is to let the rope do the work.
