You step off the shuttle and the air changes—warmer, humid, fragrant with green. The trail pulls you under a canopy of broad leaves; sunlight threads through ferns and the forest seems to breathe around you. A local guide points out a vine, then a clustered bromeliad; the island’s plants feel purposeful, offering food, medicine, and shade.
