Sloth Expedition
Sloths and their always-smiling faces remind us to slow down and enjoy a blissful pace. Recently declared a national symbol, sloths are one of the country’s most beloved animals. The forest around Arenal Volcanos is home to both the two-toed and three-toed varieties and offers perfect opportunities to view them in their natural habitat. A leisurely drive will be led by a sharp-eyed bilingual guide who will help you spot these affable creatures and share fascinating tidbits about their behaviors. As a bonus, you will have great opportunities to catch glimpses of monkeys, toucans, iguanas, and poison dart frogs.
