As I hiked through lush green forests, the sound of cascading water grew louder, and I was rewarded with the sight of magnificent waterfalls. The sheer beauty and power of nature left me in awe and provided unforgettable moments of tranquility. The water-based activities added an extra thrill to the tour. From exhilarating white-water rafting to peaceful boat rides, I experienced the best of both worlds.
