You step off the minibus and the air tightens—humid, green, alive. A narrow path threads past ferns and exposed limestone, then opens onto a series of cobalt pools fed by an underground spring. Sun cuts through the canopy and the water dares you: rope swings hang from branches, natural ledges stair-step into lagoons, and a mini waterfall hums nearby.
