Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica

We had a great experience! The tour includes a 1 hour canoe ride with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We were so fortunate to see a large pack of howler monkeys pass right by us. We also saw three sloths in the wild, thanks to the keen eye of our guide. Violin crabs, lizards, and beautiful trees. We experienced no mosquitos but the guide said some days are bad so bring bug spray. The second hour of the tour is spent up close with the sloths they have rehabilitated but that cannot live in the wild for various reasons. It's clear they take great care of the animals and are passionate about rehabilitating and returning those that can go back into nature to their natural habitats. Would definitely recommend for a great experience and a great cause to support. Police, firefighters, and community members bring injured sloths to this rehabilitation center, so it's an important resource.

We had the amazing opportunity to visit this sanctuary on our cruise that stopped in Costa Rica. They are doing amazing work. The staff is wonderful and full of knowledge. If you get the opportunity to visit this place do it!!!

We absolutely love it. Tour guide was great to take the time to do the tour in English for us. Incredibly educational. We learned so much about sloths. They do wonderful work rescuing the injured sloths and take very good care of them.

$30 per person for the short tour. All indoor about an hour You'll see about a dozen sorry sloths, in small cages with plastic grass. All the sloths are all not fit to survive the nature. (Blind, arm missing ...). A lot of mosquitoes plague the sloths and the visitors, so put up some bite protection before entering. A guy tells you about the sloths he's knowledgeable but nothing more than a Wikipedia entry. Afterwards You'll know much more about sloths than You asked for (e.g. they only leave the tree once a week for a bathroom break) $30 - zoo is cheaper.

It’s a great experience for everyone who truly loves sloths. Santiago was a fantastic guide. With your contribution you are helping sloths in need. I will be back.

This place was a dream come true for this sloth lover. The work they do in caring for sloths with disabilities and rescuing sloths is so important! We highly recommend the insider tour. Santiago and Ignacio taught us so much about these amazing creatures. One of the best experiences ever.

Amazing experience and definitely a must see when visiting Costa Rica 🇨🇷. You get to see the sloth 🦥 really close and the tour is super informative. Also, with purchasing the tour, you are helping the conservatory with their research and sloth care.

Absolutely the best experience I’ve had so far in the rich coast. I went there spontaneously (off-season perks), paid my $30 admission, and had my mind blown. The boat tour, the howler monkeys, and so much more, and then, sloths! The guides are amazing, the customer service is top notch, and the tour is impeccably designed. Well worth three times the price!
