Mist rises off the pool as the guide leads the way down a shaded tropical path toward Banyumala, the waterfall that opens the day with a cool, drumming welcome. The air smells of wet earth and frangipani; slippered stones and fern-fringed steps demand attention while the falls dare you closer for a swim and a picture.
