You step from an air-conditioned van into a humid wash of garden scent and surf—Konoko’s water tumbles just ahead, the falls daring you up a stepped ribbon of limestone and moss. Climbing the cascade is tactile: slick rock underfoot, small pools catching sunlight like glass, and the steady, friendly push of moving water that keeps you moving.
