You arrive before mid-morning, the air warm and humid, rice terraces stepping down the valley like a green staircase and a swing frame cutting a silhouette against the sky. The Bali Swing punctures the view—a simple wooden seat and a rope, promising a rush of altitude and a broad panorama that dares you to look down.
