You step off the air-conditioned van into the humid, green press of St. Ann — the scent of wet earth and salt carried from the nearby Caribbean. Engines rumble as ATVs line up on a dirt track carved through scrub and coconut palms; later, a river waits, daring you to slow down on a bamboo raft and a turquoise pool invites a cool plunge.
