You step off the minivan and hear the river before you see it — a bright ribbon of water threading through green cliffs, daring you closer. At the Blue Hole the limestone walls hold deep pools of cobalt that invite a plunge; rope swings arc through humid air and small caves whisper where water has cut rock for centuries.
