The limestone peaks rise like ancient guardians as the limousine eases onto narrow country roads and the air changes: soil, wet rice, and river. A morning hike up the stone steps at Hang Múa (Mua Cave) opens onto a wide patchwork of paddies and karst towers; the valley spreads like a natural map and the river below dares you to follow its course.
