Rancho Ecológico El Refugio is a place where nature’s magic and environmental conservation are embraced.
The López family are your hosts for the bed and breakfast and Rogelio Rosas López is the family representative. During the day the camp is often bustling with activities as day visitors arrive to engage in all the different activities th ranch has to offer. In the late afternoon things start to settle in for the evening and the serene, tranquil energy finds it’s way back to the ranch. There is lot’s to explore and it is highly reccommended you stay within the ranch property. A short walk to the small, slow moving river (rio) offers natural pools to swim in and the property has many short trails to walk. Any form of hiking in the mountains should be done with the local ranch guides and you are asked not to travel off the beaten track. This is for your safety in the invent of an accident.
