Urubamba River Distant Brush
Dense jungle brush hugs the Urubamba River cliff at dusk, shielding Indy from closing pursuers. Tangled vines and humid shadows conceal him until he explodes onto the exposed cliff path, the river churning below as Jock revs the amphibious plane. Every rustle amplifies the chase's urgency, turning thick cover into a launch point for desperate flight.
