More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a 30‑foot bamboo raft at Lethe Village and feel the platform settle beneath you as the Great River carries you downstream. Sunlight skitters through tall trees; the current nudges the raft in a lazy rhythm while woodpeckers and tropical songbirds mark time overhead. The raft captain calls out local names for plants and points to river-smoothed rocks where limestone paste is made.
