A high-speed boat slams through morning chop, spray tasting of salt and jungle as the Sierra Madre climbs out of the water like a wall. From that dock, the day unfolds with relentless momentum: a 4x4 climb through dusty tracks, a mule ride up a steeper spine, then a series of ziplines that cut across canyons where the wind tries to slow you down.
