The Best Place to Spot Sloths in Costa Rica

Manuel Antonio National Park is one of the best places in Costa Rica to spot sloths, thanks to its lush, protected tropical forest. Unlike many areas of the country, where deforestation or cultivation has led to the displacement of wildlife, Manuel Antonio remains a sanctuary for these slow-moving creatures. The park's diverse ecosystem provides the ideal environment for sloths, which prefer the heights of tall trees and a peaceful habitat free from human disturbance. The combination of dense forests and a well-preserved natural environment makes this park a must-visit for animal lovers.

How to Spot Sloths in the Park

While sloths are not the easiest animals to find, they are there—if you know where to look. These tree-dwelling mammals are often seen hanging lazily from branches, camouflaged by their greenish fur that blends with the leaves. To increase your chances of spotting a sloth, it's helpful to join a guided tour. Local guides are experts at spotting these creatures from afar and can provide interesting facts about their behavior and habitat. With a little patience, you might just find yourself in awe of these adorable and laid-back residents of Manuel Antonio.
