It’s just a 60 minutes drive from Vanilla Hills and you’ll reach the Mountain Pine Ridge Area.
On your way you will drive through the neat Maya villages of Cristo Rey and San Antonio.

Protected since the 1940s this Forest Reserve is the oldest of Belize’s national parks. With over 100,000 acres the area is home to numerous rivers, springs, waterfalls, and caves.
This is truly a nature lover’s haven! This stunning and unique natural habitat is home to numerous bird and mammal species and is a great place for bird watching and enjoying the peace of the natural environment.

The first feature of the reserve that will be explored is the Rio Frio Cave, the source of the Rio Frio river and the largest cave entrance in Belize. The next stop is the Rio On Pools, a series of shimmering natural swimming holes and rock water-slides that allow for cooling relaxation and meditation. Enjoy a water massage from cascading waterfalls that run over a wide river bed and smooth granite rocks. You will have a homemade picnic lunch break at the pools, followed by a short drive to the next destination, the picturesque Big Rock Falls.

This is a day of hiking, spelunking, and swimming with opportunities for wildlife watching not to be missed!

We can adjust the tour to your personal preferences and also visit the 1000 Foot Falls or the 5 Sister Waterfalls.
