Costa Rica Wildlife Sanctuary
Sloth Tour La Fortuna
Near La Fortuna Arenal Volcano National Park you will find an option to learn from this outstanding animal in our sloth tour.
Our Sloth Tour is run by Proyecto Asis. After more than 20 years caring for wild animals and the opportunity of releasing back to nature many species (including sloths) we are now offering you an educational tour to learn from them in this sloth sanctuary.
The sanctuary purpose is to rescue and rehabilitate sloths that have been brought to our place as they needed immediate attention. The tour we offer will help you understand them better and you will get to know what implies to care for them in order to release them or to keep them alive if the first purpose is not an option for them anymore.

We can make a difference in the animals’ lives by learning their stories. Thanks to @maricelquesadaphotography for now being another ambassador for Costa Rica wildlife 💚
“Witnessing the incredible work at @proyectoasis in Costa Rica! My friend @lyberiana leads their wildlife sanctuary, rehabilitating animals like the ones in these photos. Tragically, many are victims of poaching or accidents, luckily in Proyecto Asis they help them recover and go back to the wild when possible.”

Un llamado a saber coexistir con nuestros vecinos silvestres
Imaginar un puma o un jaguar a escasos nueve kilómetros del centro de San José no es algo surreal.
¿Mapaches en San José centro? ¿Pumas en Heredia? ¿Coyotes en Cartago? Muchos se asombran, pero Costa Rica es un país megadiverso donde habitan más de 500.000 especies de plantas y animales, el 5% de biodiversidad mundial, así que no es raro que encontremos animales silvestres en cualquier rincón del país.
