Morning mist hugs the saddle between two crater lakes as you step off the minivan — cool air, the tang of wet soil and mossy trunks greeting you. The trail drops into shaded rainforest where roots and ferns crowd the narrow path, then opens onto a glassy lake where a carved Perahu waits to glide you across water so still it keeps the trees honest.
