    Uns war schon bewusst, dass eine Sloth-Tour in die Natur führt und nicht in einen Park. Die Tiere (bis auf eines beim Eingang) waren aber schon sehr weit weg. Da viel mit den spektakulären Bildern von moosig-grün behangenen Sloths (Faultieren) geworben wird, ist die Erwartunshaltung hoch. Dann aber 5 sloths 100 m weit und 30 m hoch im Geäst mehr zu erahnen als zu sehen, enttäuscht dann aber doch ein bisschen. Ohne Führer würde man aber ohnehin nicht einen einzigen entdecken. Die Führer waren aber sehr nett.
