Itinerary and highlights

Join us on an unforgettable experience with the pioneer company in sloth tours in Costa Rica, guided by certified naturalist experts who not only master the art of spotting wildlife but also share their knowledge with passion and respect for nature.

The Arenal area is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity, and during this adventure, the main goal will be to find as many sloths as possible in their natural habitat. Both sloth species found in Costa Rica live here, and thanks to the expertise of the guides, you're guaranteed a 100% chance of seeing sloths in the wild.

As we search for these charming and peaceful creatures, your guide will lead you through some of the most wildlife-rich areas around La Fortuna. You may be lucky enough to spot toucans, red-eyed tree frogs, hummingbirds, iguanas, monkeys, and more. With the help of telescopes and binoculars, you'll observe them in detail—without causing stress and while respecting their natural environment.

This activity will not only make you fall in love with sloths but also deepen your appreciation for conservation, as your participation supports local initiatives focused on environmental education and ecosystem protection.
