You arrive before the inland heat builds, the van cutting through coastal flats toward St. Ann’s green shoulders. The road climbs and the air changes — rainforests press close, waterfalls calling like a dare — until you stand at Blue Hole, where limestone bowls hold pools the color of a weathered gem and the jungle seems to breathe around you.
