Sloth Watching Park Visit

At the designated time, we'll meet in the outskirts of La Fortuna and get ready to make some new furry friends.

We'll head into the park and spend 1.5 to 2 hours exploring a trail that'll take us to the sloths, which are typical wildlife species in the country. You’re sure to spot sloths throughout the park, whether they're hanging from tree branches or peeking out from behind leaves. Costa Rica is home to two types of these animals, and you can see if you can identify the two- or three-toed sloths.

As you wander through the rainforest and watch the animals in their natural habitat, you’ll discover that the park is dedicated to adopting orphaned sloths and caring for those with injuries. This makes it an ideal place to observe these species.

While observing them during your sloth trail, note that sloths are slow creatures who make deliberate movements, spending up to 90 percent of the day motionless. You'll learn many more facts about these animals during your tour, including their swimming abilities.
