Mountain Pine Ridge Tour
Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, the oldest of National Parks, is a nature reserve in the Cayo District of southern central Belize. Established in 1944 to protect and manage the native Belizean pine forests. Located in the highlands of the southern zone of western Belize, the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve offers cool temperatures and reveals splendid natural monuments. Within its 300,000 acres of protected pine forests, you will find sites including Thousand Foot Falls, the largest fall of Belize and the Central American region, as well as the cave Rio Frio, a quarter-mile cave, to name a few.
This tour is mainly a geological tour to see the beauty of Belize’s Pine forest and to swim at the beautiful Big Rockfalls and Rio Pools form by a river that makes up this landscape.
First, we visit the Rio Frio Cave. The Cave is a limestone cavern through which the Rio Frio flows for 76 yards. Before the water exits the cavern, the river flows over granite outcrops in a long attractive series of rapids and cascades.

He spent most of his childhood with his friends playing in the river and also playing hide and seek in what is now Cahal Pech Archeological site.
