You push off from a narrow, sun-dappled bank and the river takes you—spinning, sliding and laughing you down a green corridor. The Balthazar River dares you into its current: small rapids that flip your tube, calmer pools that invite a breath and a swim, and jungle banks that close in with palms and bromeliads. Guides call the line; you follow.
