The Lethe’s current murmurs, urging you downstream past steep riverbanks, palms, and stands of bamboo; birds call from the canopy and occasional flashes of kingfisher blue cut across the water.

Wear secure water shoes

Hydrate before and after
The combination of sun, humidity, and warm stones means staying hydrated helps recovery and prevents light-headedness.
