Why a Sloth Tour in La Fortuna Is a Must-Do Experience
There’s something incredibly peaceful about watching a sloth move slowly through the treetops, unbothered by the rush of the world. In La Fortuna, we’re lucky to have two species of sloths, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see both during your walk!
This isn’t a zoo visit. This is real, raw Costa Rica. You’re walking through a natural trail surrounded by forest, tropical birds, colorful frogs, and — if you're lucky — even toucans and monkeys. The atmosphere is pure magic.
It’s also an experience that both adults and children absolutely love. It’s safe, easy, and super engaging. You’ll learn things you never knew about these animals, laugh with your guide, take tons of photos, and walk away with a new appreciation for wildlife and rainforest life
