You step out of the van into thick, warm air; the forest closes in like a living room and the river in the distance calls you forward. Over the next nine hours you'll push through wet-leaf trails, cross narrow canyons and duck into a cavern where a waterfall cuts a bright curtain through shadow. This is a day of contrasts—hot jungle light, cool underground chambers, and the sudden hush inside a cave.
