You step off the minivan and the sound hits first — a steady, insistent rush of water that seems to pull you toward the cliff. Verdant limestone terraces tumble into turquoise pools, and guides call out rope-hands to steady climbers as the cascade dares you upward. The air is warm and wet; sand and stone underfoot shift with each step.
