More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shaded path and the river greets you in shades of green—the bamboo canopy filters the sun into cool shafts that play along the water. Seven small falls tumble over stepped rock, each pool different: a shallow splash, a hidden plunge, a cavern that drinks the light. The rope swing calls; farther along a small cliff dares the bolder to jump. Mud collects underfoot like a souvenir.
