The first tower rises like a wooden eyebrow above the treeline; you feel the off-road vehicle rock beneath you as it climbs toward the ridge. Cartagena shrinks into a cluster of red roofs and bright facades, while the Caribbean unspools to the horizon — and then the guide clips you in and the world tilts. The line hums, the trees rush, and for a heartbeat the ocean dares you forward.
