A warm breeze carries the salt from the nearby coast as the road climbs out of Montego Bay and into the green, folded hills of western Jamaica. You step from an air-conditioned van into a small river valley where a 30-foot bamboo raft waits; the river takes the lead and you ride, pushed by a slow current while trees lean in and birds call overhead.
