Hi, can you go to the mountain pine reserve on your own or take a guided your ? We are travelling from UK next week and have a rented a car while in san ignacio area.

The only accommodations with AC in Mountain Pine Ridge is Kane Villas. It is cool at night so AC is not always necessary but it’s a nice option to have.

Fit it into your travel plans if time permits.
