The river curves like a question through limestone walls, water bright and glass-clear where sunlight finds it. Paddlers push off from a stony bank, the guide’s voice steady as the group catches rhythm—forward, brace, sweep. For five hours the river alternates between calm, reflective pools and short Class II–III rapids that prod paddlers to focus and then reward them with open views of cliff faces and small waterfalls.
