Thousand Foot Falls, Mountain waterfall in Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, Belize.
The Thousand Foot Falls releases a thin stream of water that drops 1,600 feet through the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, creating the highest waterfall in Central America.
The Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, where Thousand Foot Falls resides, has supported local ecosystems and maintained river health throughout the development of Belize's ecotourism industry.
The waterfall flows through the Maya Mountains, connecting to ancient territories where indigenous communities established their presence in the Belize River Valley region.
Visitors need to travel ten miles off Chiquibul Road and turn onto Cooma Cairn Road, following the Hidden Valley sign for seven miles until reaching the waterfall entrance.
The observation point provides views across 1,290 acres of protected land, where visitors can spot regional birds while overlooking the pine-covered valley extending toward Belmopan.
