We loved our tour with Sergio! He was funny and so knowledgeable about all the plants and animals that we saw. Easy flat walk on a path through the forrest. We saw 7 sloths, a pit viper, 3 tree frogs and various types of birds and plants that he taught us about. Tortilla making, sugarcane drink, and snack at the end was a nice finish to a fantastic tour. I would highly recommend!

It was a fun tour! We learned a lot about sloths and the rest of the animals and creatures in the area. And the tortilla making was so much fun and incredibly delicious. Our tour guide mar was amazing, full of knowledge. Thank you!

Fantastic! David was very personable and knowledgeable. The walk had benches along the way for those that needed a break in the heat. We saw 4 sloths, a porcupine, great egret, Jesus Lizard and Jesus bird a couple of poisonous frogs and a pit viper. We had 9 in our group from 16 to 74 and everyone enjoyed it!

Got to see so many animals and take lots of pictures. The food afterwards was a nice end to the excursion. Not strenuous at all and the guide is really knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

The tour was very informative, we got to see some sloths even though it was raining , and the tortilla making was the perfect way to end the tour. Overall great for the price .

We had a great time on this tour. Mar was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a nice escape from the heat because of all the shade and we saw several sloths and other wildlife. Making the tortillas was fun and delicious! This is a smaller property & the sloths are there naturally, not transplanted like some of the bigger properties. It was a great tour for the price and I would highly recommend doing this tours

We had an amazing tour guide. The animals they are able to spot are unbelievable! Without a guide you would never find them on your own. Totally worth the tour. They are very informative and helpful with any questions you have about the environment and animals. My teenage kids even enjoyed. Side note make sure you bring bug repellent!

Learned so much and really enjoyed the tour! The guide was very knowledgeable. Squeezing the sugar cane juice, making a tortilla, and the yummy snacks were also a special part of our experience! Would definitely recommend.
Lorien_S, Apr 2026
Amazing! One of the best things I’ve ever done! Sloths are on my bucket list and this did not disappoint! Great day in an off the beaten path place, not a lot of people, small group, perfect experience! Tortilla making to boot! Saw several sloths! It was so amazing! And great information! This is a great tour.

It was even better than expected! The guide was kind, very knowledgeable and more than willing to answer any questions. The park was incredible and the tortilla and juice making activities were so much fun.
Marilyn_L, Mar 2026
We had an incredible sloth tour experience! Our guide, David, was absolutely amazing—he helped us spot five different sloths, toucans and other animals. What really stood out was his deep knowledge of the ecosystem; he explained everything in a way that was engaging for the kids.
We appreciate how patient and interactive he was with them—he truly made the experience fun and memorable for the whole family. The fresh tortilla and sugar cane tasting at the end was such a unique and delicious bonus.
Mercy_D, Mar 2026
Me and my friends had a wonderful experience with our guide Mar. She was so knowledgeable about the wildlife around us and was a joy to interact with. We got some great photos of sloths, different species of frogs, agouti, different species of birds, and more. We also loved the end of the tour where we got to make tortillas and drink sugar cane juice!

The tour was out of expectation! Sergio was our guide and he was knowledgeable about wildlife. We not only saw several sloths but also learned about sloths anatomy and lifestyle in a very entertaining way. There were also some beautiful birds on the trail, and we actually spotted a tucan at the end of the tour. The tortilla class was fun as well. The weather was crazy that day, but we got absolutely no problem in the woods. I would recommend this tour to people at all ages.
Thomasina_P, Feb 2026
David was an exceptional and very knowledgeable guide. We saw 3-4 sloths an a porcupine and a type of crocodile. It did rain of course but the show went on! The tortillas with cheese were amazing!! 10/10 would recommend

We booked this the day before for something to do in the afternoon. We are so glad we did! What a wonderful couple hours. Jason, our guide, walked us through the wooded (jungle) area that used to be a farm 7 years ago. Huge trees and we saw multiple sloths! Jason did a nice job for locating and pointing his scope at the animals. He also took pictures for us through the scope! The sloths were moving around and that made viewing so fun. We also saw a couple varieties of large lizards, colorful birds and even fruit bats! At the ended we got to crank sugar cane and drink it. Then we made tortillas from scratch and had a snack of tortilla and queso. Overall a great way to spend the afternoon.
Mariana_L, Jan 2026
We had an amazing experience on the Sloth Tour & Tortilla experience! Our guide, Davi, went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see sloths, and his knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even better. The tortilla-making was fun and authentic, and the fresh sugar cane juice was absolutely delicious. This tour felt personal, relaxed, and truly memorable. Highly recommend—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Davi as your guide!
Jennifer_J, Dec 2025
It was very fun! It was very beautiful and we saw many animals! We learned about how sloths live, it was a very fun adventure. When we were done with the tour we made delicious tortillas
JOANNA_H, Nov 2025
David was our guide who was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable and a great personality. I would do this again and recommended to anyone with something for a person of close-up personal experience with the animals. We saw five sloths! David was able to take fabulous pictures for us.
Aubry_C, Nov 2025
Me and my family has such a great time! The guides were very informative and it was really fun pressing cane juice and making tortillas. We saw both 3 toed and 2 toed sloths, poison frogs, birds, agouti, and much more. I highly recommend this tour.
Jessica_K, Aug 2025
This was the perfect sloth walk. The group was small and felt personal. Our guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we all got great pictures of the animals we saw. We encountered sloths, many birds, frogs, lizards, and an agouti. There is no way we would have spotted the sloths without David’s expertise! My kids had a blast pressing sugar cane to make juice and learning to make handmade tortillas after the walk. “Best tortillas I ever had” - my 9 year old son. Highly recommend this family run business.
Rose_S, Jul 2025
Jamie was a great tour guide. She took the time to answer questions and to give lots of information. A well organised trip that didn’t feel like hustle and bustle of an organised trip!
Cassidy_M, Jul 2025
This was a wonderful tour! Our guide Jeimmy was sweet, funny, and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. We saw three sloths, three different kinds of frogs, lizards, birds, and fruit bats. The grounds themselves were gorgeous and full of flowers. I loved the sugar cane juice pressing at the end, and everyone in our group had the opportunity to press it, with a fresh cup right after. The tortilla making was really fun too! We got to press all of our own tortillas, and they cooked them on the stove in front of us. We then got to snack on our tortillas with a spiced rice mixture, fresh cheese, and a little dessert. 10/10 would do again!
Scott_S, Jul 2025
Sergio was an amazing guide! He took time to answer our questions and was incredibly knowledgeable! Having been on many tours/excursions over the years, Sergio was one of the best we’ve had. We saw 8 sloths and even a baby! We also saw a toucan and a few frogs. Ending the tour with sugar came juice and homemade tortillas was perfect. I highly recommend this tour!
Sarah_B, Jul 2025
Our family of four (2 teens) really enjoyed this morning sloth tour in a wildlife corridor seeing not only sloths but other creatures such as a Green Basilisk lizard, an agouti, bats and a sleepy porcupine. Sergio, our guide was very knowledgeable and patient. The sugar cane squeezing and tortilla making was fun and the ‘snack’ of 2 tortillas with cheese and another topping and a small cake abc fresh pineapple juice was delicious and a perfect for a mini-lunch! Highly recommended.
Brianne_H, Jun 2025
We had a great time. David was our guide. We saw 5 different sloths on our walk. David was very knowledgeable and we learned so much. We also spotted several other different animals and David shared his knowledge on numerous plant and animal species during our walk. The tortilla cooking class was a fun bonus. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend!
Jen_B, Jun 2025
This was a fantastic experience. David was our guide, and he was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We saw many sloths, birds, lizards, frogs, and other animals. He told us a lot about all of the animals we saw and answered our questions. The tortilla making and sugar cane pressing was a nice bonus. The food was excellent.
Katie_H, Jun 2025
What an experience to see quite a few sloths so clearly and MOVING! We learnt how to spot them and so much about their habits. Mar was so lovely as our guide too and she had her telescope so we could look at them closely and take photos. We made sugarcane juice and then the tortillas, which was a nice touch to the end of the tour.
Emilie_H, May 2025
10 stars if I could! Our tour guide was David. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was very personable and had a great sense of humor. We saw 7.5 slots (.5 being a baby). One sloth in particular was very active and came really close to us. Along the way we saw different species of frogs, lizards, flowers and even a Agouti. Afterwards we learned how to pull sugar cane and make tortillas! The snacks especially the cheese was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. 🥰
Colton_K, May 2025
This is an amazing tour. Our tour guide Jaime was amazing and knew everything about the animals! She spotted so many animals and gave us so many facts for my family. She is also excellent at getting photos via her scope, so even if you have little kids that can’t really use a scope well, she will make it so they still see the animals. That’s being said, not every animal even needs a scope to be able to see. The tortilla making and sugar cane juice making at the end was amazing as well. Super authentic and delicious.
Cassidy_M, Apr 2025
David did a wonderful job with this tour. We saw 5 sloths and several other animals. He was funny and informative and the tortilla making was a great ending.
