Great visit - Great tour. Yohan was a great guide. We saw several sloths, beautiful birds and colorful plays. And even a viper. Loved the leaf-cutter ants.

Memorable sighting of sloths and other animals - This was definitely a highlight of our trip! Our guide, Haroldo, walked us through the park, explaining the different animals. We got to see two sloths mating, which is very rare and even the guides that were in the park were surprised! A very good experience, and probably the best chance you’ll get to spot so many sloths at once. There are also other amazing animals at the park. It was worth the price and we got unforgettable memories!

Animals in their natural habitat - So much fun! I wanted to see sloths so bad and was looking everywhere on my own for the first 5 days of our trip. So happy I came here… You really need a guide to spot the sloths, frogs, lizards, birds. If you’re expecting to be very close to the sloths, go to a zoo or a farm, this is an experience of seeing happy sloths in their natural habitat. We saw 3 sloths that were kind of balled up and then one that was moving a lot up the tree and looking at us! You can bring binoculars or just use the scope that the tour guide sets up. Our guide was amazing and knowledgeable about all of the wildlife. Also great with our 2 year old and 5 year old. We were in a group of 11 people and our guide kept it exciting the whole time, for everyone. Don’t skip the coffee wine and “whisky” at the end- delicious. What we saw- poisonous frog, blue jean frog, 5 sloths, black and white owl, emerald basilisc.

Worth it! - Fun tour right by town! Agustin and Yohan were very knowledgeable. We saw numerous sloth and other birds, snakes, frogs. Agustin was quick to set up the spotting scope and enthusiastically answered all of our questions. (Perfect English.) Yohan was great fun trying out his English and my Spanish! You can tell they both enjoy sharing time with tourists.

David and Freddy Were Incredible!! - We had an amazing time at Sloth Park! Not only did our guides David and Freddy point out 6+ cute sloths, but we also saw birds, frogs, and other creatures. David was very knowledgeable and took very clear photos of the animals for us:) Additionally, Freddy was kind and showed us photos of different animals. Both guides were incredible and we will definitely be back!!

Amazing sloths - Guides were very helpful with sighting sloths as well as other wildlife and birds. They set their scopes up and took cell phones and recorded the sloth activities for the guests. Very cool!

This is a must see! - We loved this Sloth park!! We were guided by Daniel through the tours, he did a great job locating animals. He showed us 5 sloth, one of them was about 8 months old and just above us. We got incredible photos. We saw amazing birds (honeycreepers, black and white owl, and mot mots), a tarantula, poison dart frog, Jesus Christ lizard. Don't miss it, it was the highlight of our trip!

Awesome Experience - Travelling with two girls age 11 and 13 visiting this sloth park was a must see. Our tour guide was David (with tattoos) and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He walked us around the park for approx. two hours where we say 8 different sloths including a mother with her baby. He seemed to know exactly where to look and provided lots of information about the sloths, reptiles, plants and surrounding areas. We really enjoyed this tour.

Want to see sloth? - We were fortunate enough to have Junior guild us. He was really passionate about his work. He has an eye of a hawk. He spotted things that were well hidden. Thank you Junior for showing us a great time.

Seeing sloths through a scope - not up close! - Maybe it’s our mistake, but we assumed that we would be able to get fairly close to the sloths. Instead we would walk through the forest and when our guide saw something he would set up a scope and we would have a look through it. It might be really nice if you like that kind of thing, but we found it a bit boring
