More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slip into a bright yellow tube as the jungle closes around the river mouth — the water pulls you forward with a steady, playful insistence. Light shifts through gaps in the canopy while the guide radios ahead; within minutes the tube eases into a sequence of carved passages and low-ceiling caverns. The ride is compact and kinetic: 45 minutes, about 1.5 kilometers through a series of caves, some dim and close, others open enough for dappled sunlight to ride the current.
