You step out of the van at Malaga High Pass and the air pins your lungs with altitude; below, the jungle folds into itself, green and humid, daring you downhill on two wheels. Bikes hum over dusty switchbacks, rivers push forward in whitewater tongues, and every roadside village offers a glimpse of life where Andes steepen into cloud forest.
