You step onto a slim bamboo raft and the captain eases the pole into the slow current; the Lethe River parts around your feet like a living path. Sunlight filters through broadleaf trees, sugarcane fields rustle on the banks, and the captain hums a tune as the two-person raft glides past limestone shelves where water gathers in glassy pools.
