1000 Foot Falls, also known as Thousand Foot Falls, is a majestic waterfall located deep within Belize's Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, often cited as the highest waterfall in Central America. Access requires navigating unpaved roads, making a 4x4 vehicle advisable, especially during the rainy season (June-October) when roads can be challenging; the dry season (November-May) offers easier travel. While self-driving is possible, guided tours are highly recommended for navigation, safety, and combining the visit with other area attractions like Rio on Pools. There's typically no entry fee for the reserve, but transportation costs can range significantly depending on whether you rent a 4x4 or join a tour (often $75-$150+ per person for a full-day excursion). Visitors usually spend 1-2 hours at the viewing platform, but the round trip from nearby towns like San Ignacio can consume a full day (6-8 hours). It's primarily a viewing experience, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas, so bring insect repellent, water, and comfortable footwear. Cell service is generally unreliable.
