You step off the track and into a pocket of sound: water chiseling rock, wind threading through pines, and a canyon mouth that seems to breathe. Nefeli’s cliff faces loom opposite the Papigo towers, a vertical wall that dares you to move through it. The river pulls and pauses; the canyon pushes back with a series of pools, small waterfalls and narrow slots that channel every footstep.
