Rio On Pools, nestled within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, offers a refreshing natural swimming experience with cascading waterfalls and shallow pools perfect for relaxation. Accessibility can be a challenge, as the road leading to the pools is unpaved and requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle, especially during the rainy season (June to November), which may also affect water clarity. While solo visits are possible, hiring a local guide can enhance the experience and provide valuable insights about the area's flora, fauna, and safety considerations. The cost is relatively low, mainly involving transportation and potentially a small entrance fee to the reserve; expect to spend around 2-4 hours exploring the pools. Depending on the time of year, the water temperature can vary, with cooler temperatures during the dry season (December to May).
