Rio On Pools — Attraction in Cayo District

beautiful area for kids and adults of all ages. There’s very shallow pools and deep areas. We brought our 7 month old , 2.5 year old and 7 year old and it was fun for everyone. It really goes on forever but a few recommendations : water to rinse your feet off before the car or atleast a bucket to fill from the pools to bring back to the car, definitely water shoes or you are 50% likely to break a toe or twist an ankle….

One of my favorite places in Belize! My husband and I spent 4 hours here on a sunny afternoon, early March of 2022, on the way back from Caracol. We saw 1-2 other couples come through briefly but otherwise had the place to ourselves. Great pools for swimming, chutes to slide down, and waterfalls to get a natural massage. The water is probably about 75°. This would be a great spot for kids and all adults. Be prepared for zero shade! The granite slabs are slippery and very hot in the direct sun. The site has bathrooms with flushing toilets and sinks, but bring your own toilet paper and soap/hand sanitizer. Changing rooms are also present at the end of the short trail and right...
