Sloth and Bird Watching Tour La Fortuna

Experience the peaceful side of Arenal on the Sloth and Bird Watching Tour La Fortuna, a nature-focused adventure designed for wildlife lovers, birdwatchers, photographers, and families.

This guided excursion takes you through a rich secondary rainforest habitat where sloths, colorful birds, and other native species thrive. Accompanied by an experienced naturalist guide, you'll explore one of the best wildlife observation areas near Arenal Volcano while learning about the fascinating ecosystems that make Costa Rica a global biodiversity hotspot.

Search for Sloths in Their Natural Habitat

The main highlight of this tour is the opportunity to observe wild sloths in a natural environment.

As you walk along easy and well-maintained trails, your guide will help locate both two-toed and three-toed sloths resting, feeding, or slowly moving through the forest canopy.

Visitors often leave amazed by how many sloths they were able to observe during the experience.

A Paradise for Bird Lovers

Beyond the sloths, this tour offers excellent birdwatching opportunities throughout the walk.

The diverse habitats found within the property attract a wide variety of tropical bird species, making it an ideal experience for both beginner and experienced birdwatchers.

Depending on the season and weather conditions, common sightings may include:

Each walk offers different encounters, creating a unique experience every time.
