You step out of the van into humid air that tastes faintly of salt and green leaf mold. Tropical birds call from the treeline while the river ahead chatters, daring you to wade in. This four-hour loop stitches together Dominicalito's waterfalls, rocky Pacific points, and a high mountain lookout that frames the Whale's Tail as the sun drops behind the Uvita valley.
