What to expect from your La Fortuna Sloths Tour
📍 Part 1: The Sanctuary Search
We begin with a short drive to a private wildlife sanctuary. Your private naturalist expert will lead the way, using their trained eyes to spot sloths camouflaged high in the trees. Because this is a private tour, we focus entirely on your interests and curiosity.
📍High-Definition Observation
Once a sloth is found, we set up professional spotting scopes. This allows you to see every detail—from their slow movements to their unique facial expressions—without disturbing them. Your guide will help you capture amazing close-up photos through the lens to share with your friends and family.
📍 Rainforest Biodiversity
While the sloths are the stars, the sanctuary is full of life. Along the easy trail, we will also search for colorful toucans, tropical birds, exotic insects, and iguanas. You'll enjoy stunning views of the Arenal Volcano from a unique perspective while learning about the delicate balance of this tropical ecosystem.
