Su misi\u00f3n es el <strong>rescate, rehabilitaci\u00f3n e investigaci\u00f3n<\/strong> de perezosos en la regi\u00f3n Caribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sanctuary works with the support of international volunteers, institutions, and private companies, and also welcomes visitors who want to learn more about these species. They offer different guided tours where you can observe two- and three-toed sloths, always under a strict policy of <strong>not touching or handling the animals<\/strong>, as they are still wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can also contribute to the project through symbolic adoption programs, souvenirs, and educational experiences, reinforcing the message of conservation and support for national parks, the natural habitat of sloths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can you see sloths in Costa Rica?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These animals mainly inhabit humid tropical forests, although they are also found in more developed areas such as the central campus of the University of Costa Rica, where the internal biological reserve provides refuge for various species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to increase your chances of seeing them, we recommend visiting these destinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Fortuna \u2013 Arenal<\/strong><br>The forests surrounding the Arenal Volcano are the ideal home for sloths. A recommended experience is the <strong>suspension bridge tour<\/strong>, where specialized guides help you spot them among the vegetation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manuel Antonio National Park<\/strong><br>Famous for its biodiversity, it offers two-hour hikes where you can see sloths, monkeys, and birds. The best time to visit is early in the morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corcovado National Park: Considered by National Geographic as \u201cthe most biologically intense place on Earth,\u201d this park protects habitats where jaguars, tapirs, and, of course, both types of sloths coexist. To maximize the experience, guided tours from Sirena Station are recommended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For responsible tourism, always remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Observe the sloths without touching or disturbing them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the instructions of guides and experts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Report any case of illegal possession of wildlife.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about sloths in Costa Rica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When is the best time to see sloths?<\/strong><br>They sleep between 14 and 16 hours a day, so there is no exact schedule. However, guided tours are usually conducted during the day, when it is a little easier to observe them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I keep a pet sloth?<\/strong><br>No. The <strong>MINAE<\/strong> (Ministry of Environment and Energy) strictly prohibits the keeping and trading of wild animals. If you see this happening, please report it to the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience meeting sloths in Costa Rica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling to observe sloths is a unique opportunity to connect with the country&#8217;s biodiversity. Whether in a sanctuary, national park, or biological reserve, each encounter reinforces the importance of protecting this beloved symbol of Costa Rican nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sensorial Sunsets<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sloths in Costa Rica Costa Rica is home to two of the six species of sloth that exist in the world: the two-toed sloth and the three-toed sloth.
