Rio On Pools, located within Belize's Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, offers a series of natural rock pools and small waterfalls, perfect for swimming and relaxation. Accessibility typically involves unpaved, often rugged roads, making a 4x4 vehicle highly recommended, particularly during the wet season. While solo visits are feasible for those with suitable transport and navigation skills, guided tours are a popular and often recommended option, providing transport and combining the site with other regional attractions. The best time to visit is during the dry season (November-May) when roads are more manageable; the wet season can present challenging road conditions and higher water levels. Entrance to the reserve is generally free, but guided tours typically cost between $75-$150+ USD per person. Most visitors spend 1-3 hours enjoying the pools themselves, though a full-day tour may extend the overall excursion significantly. Bring water shoes, sun protection, insect repellent, and plenty of water and snacks, as on-site facilities are limited.
