You step out of the market’s dust and into a cooler pocket of air. The road climbs and palms give way to a dense, green bowl carved inside an extinct volcano. At the Canopy Adventure launch, harnessed and helmeted, you listen to a short safety brief while the valley hums below — a river daring you through a narrow gorge, and farther off the Chorro El Macho waterfall flashing white against volcanic rock.
