Dawn filters through montane cloud as you step off the vehicle near the Quindío River. The river hurries past like a neighbor with news, and every shrub, palm and bamboo seam along the trail holds a possibility: a flash of red, the metallic tick of a toucan, or the quick silhouette of a tanager. The walk follows river terraces toward the Santa Rita farm and its namesake waterfall, with binoculars and a local guide pointing out calls and field marks.
