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 :)
