Thousand Foot Falls
Springfield, Belize, Belize
Thousand Foot Falls, also known as 1000‑Foot Falls, is a dramatic natural waterfall and protected nature monument in the Cayo District of Belize, located near the village of Springfield within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. Despite its name, the falls actually drop about 1,600 feet, making them the tallest waterfall in Belize and thought to be the highest in Central America. The site is set in a remote, forested area of the Maya Mountains, with a viewing area reached by a sometimes rough, unpaved road and a less‑maintained trail down to the base that is not currently recommended for casual visitors. The falls and surrounding 1,290‑acre monument form part of a larger conservation and watershed area managed by Belize Karst Habitat Conservation, protecting rare species such as the Orange‑breasted Falcon, scarlet macaw, and jaguar, while also offering a short‑but‑scenic stop for eco‑tourists exploring the Mountain Pine Ridge region.
