Guided hike in La Marta Refuge

From coffee plantation to wildlife refuge

From 1870 to 1930 these terrains were dedicated to the production of coffee, sugar, cacao and banana. Luckily, times are a-changing and since 1991 it's a biological reserve devoted to conservation, research and education.

The Refuge has more than 15 kilometers of marked natural trails, some lead to natural river pools, waterfalls and forests. These trails range from low intensity to high level, with routes of half an hour or up to 8 hours or more, depending on what the visitor is looking for.

There are also routes to the ruins of the old facilities where coffee was processed in the XIX century. You’ll be walking with your professional guide to help you unveil wonders of the tropical rainforest, the place’s history and undoubtedly enjoy the peace of being in contact with nature.
