Rain squeezes through a green ceiling as your minivan climbs out of Batumi toward the high ridges of Adjara. The air changes—salt-laced city breath gives way to humid, mossy forest that seems to push the road forward. By day two you’re walking short trails to Makhuntseti waterfall, the bridge jangling above a cleft where water dares you to stay dry.
