You push off from a low wooden bank and the raft answers with a slow, buoyant consent—the river taking the weight of your day as it slips through stands of fern and tropical hardwood. Guides stand at the stern, poles tapping the shoals, steering you past shallow riffles and quiet pools where light skitters across the water.
