You step into an air-conditioned van as the island heat thins at the edges, and the driver—fluent in English—slides a map across the seat and asks where you want to begin. Windows frame rice terraces folding like stairs, and the Petanu River pushes downstream, daring you to follow its route toward a waterfall.
