The rural roads have been classified in the Departmental-Metropolitan Plan of Walking and Hiking Trails (PDMIPR). This classification protects them and will prevent them from disappearing over time under nature or being closed by fences. It guarantees all nature lovers access authorized, secure, and marked.
