 Morning
departure up the Western Highway to Mountain Pine Ridge where you
will have a chance to see the natural beauty of this reserve. Bring
along your walking shoes, your swimwear and an adventurous mind for
full day of activity. 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. |
