Rancho La Merced Wildlife Refuge presents a series of trails for hiking through primary rainforest, secondary growth and open land to give you the opportunity to observe the protected flora and fauna.

Experience the behaviour of insects, birds, mammals and reptiles in their natural habitat, and observe the extensive variety of tropical plants.

Part of the trails are located on the hills of the reserve and the Morete River basin. This is an excellent hike for wildlife observation as there is a great deal of open space and gallery forest.
The hike covers areas where the howler monkeys are heard always in the mornings.
