The raft eases off the bank and the Lethe River takes over, carrying you past banana and breadfruit trees as reggae hums from the captain’s portable speaker. Sunlight skitters across slow, tannin-dark water; the guide steers a hand-crafted 30-foot bamboo raft with a long pole, pointing out medicinal plants and local stories as the river narrows and the valley tightens.
