Stand on the metal rail of San Francisco Bridge and the canyon yawns beneath you—the Pastaza River a silver thread that pushes forward through steep green walls. Guides clip harnesses and helmets, voices practical and calm, while the wind along the gorge tests your resolve. A short free fall gives way to a pendulum swing that arcs you across the canyon: the air has weight, the rocks answer with a distant roar.
