The wet stone hums under your palm as guides clip a harness and the rainforest river looks you in the eye—inviting and insistent. You step to the lip, hear the waterfall's voice, and lower into a column of spray that pushes you forward. Two descents—about 32 meters and 15 meters—slice through green walls, followed by pools deep enough to swim or jump from natural platforms.
