Description

Sloths represent one of the animals that people feel most attracted to. But, why?

These slow-moving, tree-hugging mammals have captivated the hearts of nature lovers worldwide — and once you see one in its natural habitat, you’ll understand why. Sloths are extraordinary survivors: they spend up to 20 hours a day resting in the canopy, move at a top speed of just 0.03 mph on the ground, and have a metabolism so efficient they can survive on as few as 162 calories a day.At Proyecto Asis, we are home to two species of wild sloth: the Brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) and Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni). Our guided sloth tour takes you on a walk through our small private reserve, where both species live freely in the trees. You’ll learn to spot the subtle differences between them and gain a deep appreciation for their role in the rainforest ecosystem.
