Costa Rica is famous for its incredible biodiversity, and nothing captures its magic quite like encountering wild sloths in their natural habitat. At Asis Sloth Sanctuary La Fortuna, we offer the most authentic, ethical, and educational sloth-watching experience in the region. Located just minutes from downtown La Fortuna, our guided tours provide unforgettable wildlife encounters while promoting responsible ecotourism and conservation.

Why Our Sloth Sanctuary Tour Stands Out

Unparalleled Sloth-Sighting Success Rate

With over two decades of experience, our trained guides know exactly where and how to find sloths in the dense rainforest. We focus on observing sloths in the wild—where they belong.

Small-Group, Eco-Conscious Tours

To minimize environmental impact and maximize your experience, we keep groups small (12 people max). This ensures:
✔️ Minimal disturbance to wildlife
✔️ Personalized attention from your guide
✔️ Better photo opportunities without crowds

Expert Guides with Scientific Knowledge

Our guides aren’t just tour leaders—they’re wildlife experts who share fascinating insights about:
🔹 Sloth behavior, diet, and survival adaptations
🔹 Their role in Costa Rica’s rainforest ecosystem
🔹 Ongoing conservation efforts to protect them

A Thriving Rainforest Sanctuary

The tour takes place in a private nature reserve teeming with wildlife.

The easy, well-maintained trails are suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

Frequently asked questions — Sloth Park La Fortuna

Is Proyecto Asis a sloth park or a sloth sanctuary?
Both — and more. Proyecto Asis operates as a licensed wildlife rescue center and sloth sanctuary near La Fortuna. It is commonly referred to as a sloth park because of its dedicated sloth viewing platforms and high sloth-sighting success rate. Unlike a commercial sloth park, however, every sloth at Proyecto Asis is a rescued animal — either a wild sloth roaming freely across the sanctuary or a sloth currently undergoing rehabilitation from injuries before being released back into the wild.

How much does the sloth park tour cost?
The Sloth Sanctuary Tour is $35 USD per adult and $25 USD for children aged 5 to 9. Children under 5 are admitted free. The tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and is led by a bilingual guide (English/Spanish).

What is the best time to visit the sloth park in La Fortuna?
Tours run Monday through Saturday at 8:30 am, 10:30 am, and 1:30 pm. Morning tours are generally recommended as sloths tend to be more active earlier in the day. All three time slots offer excellent sighting opportunities thanks to the sanctuary’s elevated viewing platforms and expert guides.

Can I see sloths guaranteed at the Proyecto Asis sloth park?
Sloth sightings are highly likely but not guaranteed. The wild sloths roam freely across the sanctuary and may not always be visible, and the number of sloths in rehabilitation varies depending on current rescues and releases.

Can I hold or touch the sloths at the sloth park?
No. Physical contact with sloths is not permitted. The sloths are either wild animals or animals in active rehabilitation, and human contact causes stress that can set back their recovery. The elevated viewing platforms at Proyecto Asis are designed to provide very close, unhurried observation without disturbing the animals.

How is the sloth park different from the wildlife tour?
The Sloth Sanctuary Tour ($35/adult, 1.5 hours) focuses exclusively on the rescued sloths. The Wildlife Regular Tour ($40/adult, 1.5 hours) covers the full Proyecto Asis rescue center including all resident species — capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, macaws, caimans, coatis, kinkajous, and more. A Wildlife + Volunteer experience ($60/adult, up to 2.5 hours) is also available for visitors who want a hands-on animal care experience.

How do I get to the sloth park from La Fortuna?
Proyecto Asis is located approximately 7 km from downtown La Fortuna, near the road toward Arenal Volcano National Park. The drive takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Free parking is available on site. Taxi service from La Fortuna center is also readily available. For directions, contact us via WhatsApp at +506 8679-5867.

Do I need to book the sloth park tour in advance?
Advance booking is strongly recommended, especially during Costa Rica’s high season from December to April. You can book online directly on this page, by phone at +506 4000-1553, or via WhatsApp at +506 8679-5867.
