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.
