The raft drifts with a slow, deliberate patience as the Lethe River parts ripples around the bamboo poles. Palm fronds brush the sky; sunlight stitches bright lines across water that smells faintly of wet limestone and forest. Guides kneel at the stern, poles tapping the riverbed, while passengers let the current set the pace.
