The trip begins at Los Almendros pier just as the last wash of Caribbean light slips behind the canals. Lanterns click on, the guide briefs the group beside rusted pieces of old machinery that mark the village’s past, then leads into a narrow trail where the rainforest rearranges itself for the night. Eyes adjust; frogs call like tiny alarms, a snake slips through leaf litter, and the hush is punctuated by small mammals moving in the understory.
