Itinerary
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

Sloth Tour
We had such a fun time on this sloth tour! We spotted several sloths, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable — she taught us so much and made the whole experience engaging for both adults and kids. She was patient, great with our children, and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this tour for families!

Beautiful, informative, and full of wildlife!
The property was beautiful and diverse with a field, waterfalls, brooks, bridges, and what felt like jungle hiking! Guillermo was an excellent guide! He spotted the sloths, monkeys, frogs, lizards, and more. He patiently and gracefully fielded my children’s never ending questions and ensured we not only got to see it all but got many photo opportunities as well! Highly recommend this tour and Guillermo as your guide!

Superb sloths tour with Joseh
We had a great guide- Joseh, who was quick to adjust to our needs and found not only sloths but frogs, birds, butterflies, etc. we had a great time and can highly recommend this tour!

So many beautiful sloths spotted by our guide Jazmin
We loved this small group tour with Jazmin! She taught us so much about both species of sloth, helped us take great photos and had a cool, calm demeanor even though it was extremely hot weather. I highly recommend this experience if you want to see sloths in their natural environment - and ask for Jazmin. This was our second tour experience with her and we were so excited to see that she was our guide.

Great experience
We were very fortunate to see and experience the sloths moving about and we learned so much from our guide Jasmine. Jasmine was so passionate about the protection of the sloths, but ensured that we were able to observe the sloths without impacting them. She made the experience so much better - we were so happy to have her as our guide!

Baby sloth!
This was terrific!! Sloths are my favorite and it was really nice to see them in their natural habitat. We were lucky enough to see 4 sloths on our tour and one with a baby! The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sloths and Costa Rica in general.

Ecofriendly company, great tour guide
Ecoterra was chosen by our tour company (Pacific Trade Winds), but I'd definitely book more tours through them when I return to Costa Rica. Our tour guide through Sloth's Territory emphasized the ecological mindset of the company. She was so knowledgeable about the ecology of Costa Rica, the animals and plants. She was very friendly and personable, I got a lot of information without ever feeling like I was in a lecture.
