You step off the minivan as late afternoon light slides across the peninsula—sea on one side, rainforest on the other—and the trail immediately narrows into shade. The air smells of salt, wet leaves and warmed stone; birds punctuate the quiet while a guide gestures toward a flash of orange in the canopy. For the next two hours you move deliberately: slow approaches for wildlife, quick framing for a photograph, and frequent pauses where the photographer captures the moment so you don’t have to.
