Dust kicks up under the Jeep as the road turns from pavement to red clay and rainforest closes in. The air tastes of wet earth and coffee; guides shout over laughter as the vehicle noses toward a narrow trail that ends at bright blue pools threaded through limestone canyons. Here, the 27 Charcos push and pull at you — a sequence of cascades, natural slides and plunge pools that dare your balance and your appetite for cold water.
