You step off a hand‑cranked ferry, the Mopan River slipping past your ankles, and the wide face of El Castillo rises ahead—stone tiers framed by lianas and the sharp green of Cayo forest. The day threads river, ruin, cave and canopy: a hike across shallow streams, a slow float through a limestone underworld, then a rush along aerial cables above rainforest.
