If you are looking for more than classic postcards, Merlo has a hidden side worth exploring. Beyond the Sun Dial and Pasos Malos stream, there are mountain spots where silence, mist, and pure nature take over.
1. Salto del Tigre
This 22-meter waterfall sits over 2,000 meters high and drops into a deep crystal-clear pool. A perfect place to disconnect from urban noise.
2. Pueblo Escondido (Cerro Aspero)
A former tungsten mining camp, now a dramatic destination for 4x4 adventures and demanding trekking routes.
3. Chorro de San Ignacio
One of the best-kept secrets near Merlo, with a greener and more humid trail atmosphere than traditional circuits.
4. El Viejo Molino Reserve
In Piedra Blanca Arriba, this reserve blends colonial history with easy trails and streamside scenery for a relaxed outing.
