Sloth Farm Watching Tour & Amazimg-waterval

An absolutely awesome experience for our family of 6!! We arranged for a pick up close to our VRBO. Juan Carlos was our guide - an experienced naturalist and native Costa Rican he blew us away with his profound and endless knowledge of the flora and fauna and history of this beautiful country ! He was constantly trying to make sure we were seeing everything possible from monkeys and tree frogs to the National bird of Costa Rica ! Lunch was simply delicious and the sloth tour was incredible. Our driver was phenomenal as well - quick to respond when we had a flat tire, kind and helpful every step of the way ! We couldn’t have been more pleased with thus excursion or the hospitality and education we received !

AMAZING! I can not even express what an amazing adventure Christian and Johnny took us on. We combined a couple different options for an epic full day off resort. Christian picked us up at the airport so we got to meet him before we took our tours a few days later. Unfortunately our daughter got sick the day before our scheduled day off resort and we had to switch things around so Johnny became our guide for the day. He was just as knowledgeable and amazing as Christian. Both gentlemen shared so much information about the culture, environment and overall island feel of the country. We started out our tour with Johnny at 7:30am. We visited a waterfall, hot springs, mud baths, rainforests within a sloth farm/sanctuary and had an wonderful authentic lunch. Something we would have never found on our own. We were also able to stop at a souvenir shop because our kids HAD to bring presents back for friends. The sloth farm was by far my favorite part as we were able to see a glorious sloth that we named Flash, close up. It was a private tour that consisted of Johnny our local guide, my husband and I and our two kids, Boy (16) and Girl (12). They loved it all minus the mud ???? The Van was air conditioned which was great because it was HOT! I really enjoyed my time in the van just talking to Johnny and Christian about the culture of Costa Rica. Johnny pulled over and gave us fresh tamarind and picked a cashew off a tree. We are so thankful we decided to hire an amazing company to take us everywhere and teach us about the beautiful Costa Rica! Pura Vida! I was joking with Christian when he dropped us back off at the airport when we were all sad we were leaving. I said if our flight got cancelled I’d be calling him. He said we could go have dinner at his house and I honestly think he would have had us over ❤️ Thank you for making our trip to Costa Rica extra amazing!!

We went to one waterfall called Llanos del Cortes around 9am and there wasn’t a lot of people so we got really pretty pics! Than the sloth tour. We saw about four different sloths and one was a baby. Also saw many other animals. He has really informative books about animals, plants, and birds of Costa Rica so it’s super informative and helpful during the search for animals. The lunch that was included was some of the best authentic Costa Rican food I had during my trip and the restaurant has a butterfly farm attached to it so it was super beautiful.
