We wanted to see the sloths so we booked our tickets to the habitat. You can buy these at Selvatura Park. You need to pay close attention to find the sloths and once you do they almost look fake since they are hanging very still with eyes closed but we were able to see some with their eyes open. If you visit Costa Rica we recommend this activity!
Thank you so much for recommending this experience! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to our sloth habitat and that you were able to catch some of them with their eyes open. You made an excellent point, as their incredible camouflage and peaceful nature can definitely make them look like statues at first glance. Spotting them is always a fun and rewarding challenge. We appreciate your recommendation to anyone visiting Costa Rica, and we hope to welcome you back to Selvatura Park for more nature adventures in the future! Warm regards,
Got there right after 1pm feeding time. It was amazing. My guide was knowledgeable and very informative. The sloths were very active when I visited, which is rare.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience! We are thrilled to hear that you arrived at the perfect time to witness our sloths during their active post-feeding window. It truly is a rare and magical sight to see them moving around so much. It is fantastic to know that your guide provided such knowledgeable and informative insights, helping you connect even deeper with these incredible creatures. Our sanctuary team works passionately to share the importance of sloth conservation, and your kind words mean the world to us. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing visit in the future! Warm regards, The Selvatura Park Management Team
The sanctuary is very beautiful; we saw 10 of the 12 sloths they told us were there. The friendly guide explained everything to us. A pleasant visit.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaste de una agradable visita y que tuviste la oportunidad de avistar a casi todos nuestros perezosos.

Saber que la experiencia valió la pena es nuestra mejor recompensa. Esperamos tener el placer de darte la bienvenida nuevamente en el futuro para seguir explorando la naturaleza juntos.
Saw so many sloths and they were so adorable!! Our guide was very informational, and answered the random questions that we had. The sloths were sleeping in the cutest positions, but we got to see some active ones too!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed seeing the sloths and had the opportunity to observe both their peaceful and active moments. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back for another memorable wildlife experience.
Tour was wonderful. Guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Our guide was hilarious, kind and educational. We got to see all 12 (13?) sloths in the habitat. Sonia even woke up and gave us a little show! We went a week without seeing any sloths before this, so the admission fee was worth the experience. We went to the 8:10 tour and had the sloth habitat to ourselves. Highly recommend, it was a perfect way to end our trip.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to know that your visit was such a memorable way to end your trip. Our team is committed to creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences, so it’s truly rewarding to hear that everything met your expectations. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future!
Excellent tour. We walked around the habitat and saw many sloths, some sleeping , some eating and some slowly moving across the branches. Very informative guide. This was the first thing we did when we arrived to Monteverde so it was perfect to see som many animals.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Sloth Habitat and had the opportunity to see so many sloths during your visit.

We’re especially happy that Selvatura Park was one of your first stops in Monteverde and that it gave you such a memorable introduction to the area’s incredible wildlife. We hope to welcome you again for more nature adventures!
Wonderful chance to get close to rescued sloths and watch them eat and sleep! Excellent guides with interesting information!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so happy you enjoyed this special experience and had the chance to see the rescued sloths up close. It’s wonderful to know our guides helped make your visit even more meaningful. We truly appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back again soon!
It was really nice to see the sloths at close. However, the group was really big and it felt rushed. When our guide was done with his talk we went back to the startingpoint to exit the building. Others could go to their next excursions. So we were only a short 30 minutes inside. I guess because we didn't have 10 minutes more of questions. Also because the shuttle busses don't drive between 11:00 and 13:00, forcing you to have an expensive lunch or take another tour. It felt like a tourist trap.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the sloths up close, but we’re sorry to hear that the experience felt rushed and that the group size affected your visit. We understand how important it is to have enough time to fully enjoy the tour, and we’ll share your comments with our team to improve the pacing and overall experience. We also appreciate your observations regarding the shuttle schedule and will take them into consideration. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Amazing experience! highly recommend visiting this sloth sanctuary. It was a great experience!
