You step off the air-conditioned shuttle and the air changes immediately: hotter, denser, alive. A chorus of calls — howler monkey deep-throated barks, the quick bark of tanagers, the insect percussion — presses in from every side. Guides in red shirts clip harnesses to bright steel cables and point toward a wooden stairway that climbs into the trees. Today, the jungle dares you to move between its layers.
