Description

Discover the incredible biodiversity of Manuel Antonio National Park on a guided tour designed especially for those who dream of seeing sloths in their natural habitat. This tour focuses on observing these fascinating creatures, known for their calm behavior and perfect adaptation to the tropical forest. During the experience, observe both the three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) and the two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni), while learning to identify them and understand their differences, habits, and curiosities. Although sloths are the main attraction, it is also common to find monkeys, birds, iguanas, insects, and other wildlife native to the park. Your certified guide, accompanied by professional equipment (such as high-quality telescopes), will teach you the techniques used by experts to locate sloths camouflaged among the vegetation. This not only significantly increases the chances of sightings but also turns the tour into an educational and participatory experience.
