Una Storia Unica
Rancho La Merced is owned and managed by a Costa Rican family and has been protected from hunting for many years. They operate a unique working cattle ranch dedicated to the breeding of meat, whose production is in harmony with the ecological balance of tropical rainforest and the surrounding mangroves. They are active member of the Asociacion de Amigos de la Naturaleza del Pacífico Central y Sur (ASANA) and their land is part of the Tapir’s Path Wildlife Corridor.
Tutela Ambientale Attiva
