  Morning
from your hotel to Mountain Pine Ridge where you will have a chance
to see the natural beauty of this reserve.
Hidden
Valley Falls, also known as Thousand-Foot Falls, is a routine stop
on many tours. It is believed to be the highest waterfall in Central
America and is actually over 1,500 ft to the bottom. A viewing
platform overlooks the falls. There is a short scenic trail around
the escarpment for taking in the valley view. The waterfalls are in
the heart of the Belize Mountain Pine Ridge and the Vaca Plateau.
This tour has also the Rio on Pools and the Rio
 Frio
Caves.
Acres of citrus, scenic vistas, then a ranger station welcomes you
to the reserve. Hundreds of needle-like pine stretch heavenward as
you rumble along red-tinted roads reminiscent of Georgia's red clay.
Amazing natural attractions lie ahead. Anticipation builds on the
short walk to Rio Frio Cave. Your jaw may
drop upon first seeing the cave's 65-foot-high mouth. Eerie light
spills over boulders and stalactites at the half-mile-long cave.
Cool off in mini pools and soak up scenery at close by Rio On Pools,
equally as impressive. An eye-boggling 1,000-foot splashdown can be
found at
 Hidden
Valley Falls—also know as Thousand Foot Falls—in the Mountain Pine
Ridge area. (road conditions permitting) Watch water disappear into
the jungle from a mountain top viewing area. Bring along your
binoculars, as there is much exotic flora and fauna to see in this
tour, these species are endemic too this extremely rough, but
beautiful part of Belize.
