You step off the air-conditioned van and the city’s hum thins until the forest itself takes the lead — palms, broadleaf trees and a damp, loamy scent that seems to gather around your boots. The trail is soft underfoot, a shaded ribbon that threads through old-growth stands and skirts limestone outcrops where ferns catch the light.
