Arenal Sloth Quest

About this experience

In this activity we are gonna be driving around La Fortuna town, visiting different spots where the sloths use to live. If we arrive to one place and we do not see any sloth, we just move to the next one, until find them. Usually, they are visible in many of the places we visit, guaranteeing to see them, totally in their natural habit. Besides the sloths, we usually find other animals such us blue jeans frogs, toucans, monkeys and more. We won't have any direct interaction with the animals, no touches, no sounds to wake them up; and very prudential distance, using the spotting scope for that. This is a 100% ethical tour where we take care the integrity of this beautiful creatures.
