A low, bamboo raft parts the Lethe River’s glassy surface and the world narrows to rope-thin ripples and the hum of insects. Guides steer with a long pole; dappled sunlight moves across ferns and limestone banks as the raft drifts past mangroves and shallow pools. The river demands slow attention — a close-up of Jamaican lowland life where birds call and water plants brush your ankles.
