We love the proximity of B&j Cabinas to Refugio de Vida Silvestre Rancho La Merced. During the dry season, from December to April, we've consistently spotted capuchin monkeys, sloths, and a vibrant array of tropical birds.

It's the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring, perhaps with a good book and the sounds of the rainforest.
