You step off the air‑conditioned van into humid, green air — the forest breathes and a chorus of coquí frogs answers. A short, uneven trail threads under broad leaves and ferns, and within minutes the river appears: smooth rock chutes carved by centuries of flowing water, slick and inviting. The first slide drops you into a clear pool; the second sweeps you past a small waterfall and a shallow cave, river currents practically nudging you forward.
