Alajuela Province, La Fortuna, Costa Rica Enjoying this activity in at 8:00 a.m. at 2:00 p.m. or have a night hike at 5:30 p.m. Two-toed sloths are nocturnal, and easier to see them active in the evenings.
We will pick you up at your hotel at your chosen schedule and start this exciting journey into the sloths' territory, which is within a small family-friendly eco-project just 5 minutes from La Fortuna. The project has a path of 1500 m. (A little less than a mile) suitable for adults, families, and children of all ages; we will make a tour of approximately 2 hours in the midst of plants, a river bordering the property and of course you can not miss the Guarumo trees, the favorite food of sloths in Costa Rica.
During the tour, we highlight the importance of its protection, as illegal trade has grown due to its increasing popularity. Because of this, Ecoterra along with the Rodríguez family are maintaining this privileged area to protect the sloths. At the end of this natural experience, we will drive you back to your hotel 180 minutes

Spotting sloths with their babies was really special!
So many different plants and animals on this tour....parades of Leaf Cutter Ants, Caimans relaxing in calm pools of water, rushing streams, frogs, fungi, orchids.
Albert(o), our EccoTerra Guide for this activity and the Campesino Farm Tour that followed, was patient and very knowledgeable. Our family of 11 had a great time!

Pleasant walk through the property to view sloths, birds, flora and fauna. Anthony was our guide, Very professional and loaded with information. We spotted 6 sloths, one was a mama and her baby, and so close for pictures. He also showed us and explained the story of the leaf cutter ants, Fascinating. We ended our tour with a snack of fresh fruit.
Would highly recommend this sloth tour

Absolutely fantastic way to kick off our vacation in Costa Rica! It was literally Day 1 (we landed that morning) and we were off on a Sloth Territory Hike. We were fortunate enough to see 7 sloths!!
We had a wonderful guide, and truly appreciated her professionalism and respect of the sloths - we were able to view them through a spotting scope and did not risk harassing them in their habitat.
