i did rio un pools, there is also the rio frio cave there (awesome), and the jungle, xunantunich etc in 1993. you really have to stay there (mainland) to see that stuff, at least for a few days. our second trip, we hung out on AC & did the diving thing. you cant see the whole country in a week, and still relax. i suggest you make 2 trips there, or stay a few days in Cayo to see the western sights. it is worth it. there is even a place you can horseback ride thru the jungle: banana bank ranch. BUT, you cant do it all from AC. our '93 trip, we did 7 days on mainland, 3 on AC.
