"A biodiverse reserve about two hours from San Ignacio featuring natural pools, caves, Maya ruins, waterfalls—including the region’s most dramatic falls—excellent birdwatching opportunities, and guided eco-tours into varied rainforest terrain." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"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."
