The location is so remote that there is nothing close by. You’re literally in the middle of the jungle. No gas stations, no markets, no settlements (a couple of army/ranger training bases somewhat close by). Bring food and water, and enjoy the picnic cause it’s a beautiful area to relax and eat.
hi, how much time do we need to explore the site: let's say from 9.00 am onwards? Is it possible to drive in? do we leave cars outside? My plan is: San Ignacio->Caracol-> 3 hours( enough?) ->rio frio (1 hour max)--> rio on Pool ( 1 hr ) -> 1000 ft falls( 30 min there)- big rock Falls ( 1 hr) -San Ignacio Pleas let me know if this is possible in 1 day - we will have a 4x4 car :)
