Look for wild two-toed and three-toed sloths on a private property near La Fortuna, where a specialized guide uses spotting scopes so you can see them up close without disturbing them. Learn about their biology, behavior, and conservation, with a snack and cold water to finish.
Spend the morning looking for sloths in their natural habitat on a private property near La Fortuna, home to both two-toed and three-toed sloths. Every sloth you see here lives in the wild; none are relocated from other regions, and the tour is designed to respect their environment and routines.
Sloths are solitary animals that spend most of their time resting high in the treetops, which makes them easy to miss without a trained eye. Your specialized guide knows where to find them and uses high-quality spotting scopes so you can observe each one up close without disturbing it. On some visits, guests are lucky enough to see a mother with her young.
Along the way, your guide explains the sloth’s biology and behavior, as well as the importance of protecting the species from the illegal wildlife trade that has grown alongside its popularity. The walk ends with a snack and cold water. Ideal for families, photographers, and wildlife lovers of all ages, this experience offers an authentic and responsible way to see one of Costa Rica’s most recognized animals.

Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.
Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.
Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
