The limestone steps rise in terraces, cool spray on your face as guides form a human chain and lead climbers toward a cliff-top view. Later, a winding inland road drops into jungle and you arrive at Blue Hole, a pocket of plunging falls, rope swings and carved limestone pools that dare you to jump.
