Sloth & Wildlife Encounter
Step into a private rainforest reserve set in the biological corridor between the Miravalles and Tenorio volcanoes, guided by a naturalist who knows exactly where to look. On this unhurried two-hour walk you'll search the canopy for three- and two-toed sloths, watch monkeys move through the branches, and spot toucans, red-eyed tree frogs, poison dart frogs, and the small reptiles most visitors walk right past. We find sloths on every single visit — what we can't promise is that they'll be awake. Your guide reads the forest for you — the calls, the movement, the tracks — and carries a spotting scope so you can see and photograph animals high in the canopy. No crowds, no rush: just you, the forest, and someone who can name everything in it.

Frequently Asked Questions
On our reserve we find sloths on every visit; they live here year-round. The one thing we can’t promise is that they’ll be awake — sloths sleep most of the day. That’s why our guides carry spotting scopes to locate them high in the canopy.
In a private rainforest reserve inside the biological corridor between the Miravalles and Tenorio volcanoes — one of Guanacaste’s richest pockets of wildlife, and far quieter than the better-known parks.
No. These are wild, free-living animals in their natural habitat. The reward is seeing them behave naturally — and with our scopes you’ll get close-up views and photos without disturbing them.
Monkeys, toucans, red-eyed tree frogs, poison dart frogs, and a variety of reptiles and birds. Your naturalist will point out species most visitors walk straight past.
Yes, you can come year-round. In heavy tropical-storm rains the wildlife stays more hidden, but our guides know where to look and come equipped with scopes and binoculars to make sightings easier.
