The Lethe River parts the jungle like a slow exhale, carrying a handcrafted bamboo raft and its passengers beneath a green canopy where light pools on the water. Guides pole the raft with practiced ease; palms and ferns lean in as if to whisper directions. The ride is deliberate and calm — a half-hour glide that feels designed to slow the body to the river’s rhythm.
