Due to Costa Rica’s equatorial location, coupled with prime climatic conditions, life has exploded. One particular mammal found in Costa Rica has taken the world by storm.
Reaching up to 12kg in weight, Hoffman’s two-toed sloths are one of the larger arboreal mammals in Costa Rica.
Smaller, no heavier than 6kg, the brown-throated sloth can often be found in the guarumo tree; its’ favorite food source.
One of the highlights of the region is booking on to the sloth-watching trail, found just outside the main town of La Fortuna.
Due to the higher elevation of Monteverde, the climate can become quite chilly. Due to this, only the two-toed sloth can be found here.
