You step off the short cobblestone path and the horsetail falls—Cola de Caballo—fills the air with a cool, misty pulse. The park’s pine-fringed bowl opens ahead, rock terraces slick with spray, and the IBO Roller Zip hums above a narrow cleft of forest: part zip line, part roller coaster, all forward motion. The launch platform feels like a promise; seconds later you’re seated in the harness, wind pushing you past treetops and the waterfall daring you to look down.
