You step off the private transfer and the humid air of Saint Ann meets you — the low roar of falls somewhere in the trees, the scent of wet limestone and cut grass. Guides lead a small group into a lane of hibiscus and towering palms; horses clip-clop toward a colonial-era great house, then into a ribbon of rainforest that opens onto the Caribbean where mounts can walk into the shallows.
