"If you’re impressed by the jungles and rivers surrounding San Ignacio, you’ll be in awe of the contrasting landscapes as you head south from town. Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, awide-open expanse of jungle, rocks, waterfalls, and caves, is reached by a dirt road lined withtowering pine trees. Staying in a remote lodge in the reserve area is asromantic as it gets, but even a day trip has its rewards. Take a dip in fresh water after hiking to uncrowded waterfalls like Big Rock, or swim at Rio on Pools, a swimming hole fed by cool, cascading waters. This reserve is one of Belize 's grandest wild landscapes."

We got here late and we wish we had arrived earlier because it was such a cool place to swim and/or relax!! It’s easy to get to and the views are amazing. Water shoes or sandals will be useful as some rocks are very slippery.

Blanconeaux was a dream vacation, with Mayan/Spanish gracious staff and gourmet meals. Their tall thatched roof cottages and stone steps within this tropical resort bordered a healthy river and waterfall. Horses, buggy & cart to rainforest, driver to market and airport pickup was charming and a blessing.

What an adventure! Make sure you spend a few nights in the area at one of the beautiful resorts. Bring wheels because there is a lot to explore! Very drivable and safe. Make sure you have a full tank and some backup fuel for your adventure.

Many nice stuff here, Rio Frio Cave, Rio on Pools, Caracol, Big Rock falls, 1000ft falls and many more. Driving is recommend only with a SUV, Caracol only with an additional guide, better would be a guided tour if you are not familiar with the area. Very limited mobile phone reception, downloading Google maps for navigation is advisable. Also in the area are done luxurious resorts but better check them out for yourself.

What a beautiful drive and great road up to Rio of pools. There are changing huts and bathrooms. The water is cool and refreshing and there are plenty of places to have a picnic. We weren't prepared to swim, but we waded and will definitely co.e to swim next time. Such a hidden gem.

We drove through this Reserve on our way to Caracol. It’s dirt road driving through this forest and it has beautiful scenery. It‘s amazing to see pine trees in the tropics.
