Puerto Limon Sloths Lovers Tour
SLOTHS LOVERS TOUR
Puerto Limon Shore Excursion
Your breath-taking adventure begins with a pickup from the entrance of the pier and a relaxing drive through the wonderful Costa Rican countryside on an air-conditioned transportation and recent model minibus. Your professional bilingual guide will point out many sights of interest including banana and chocolate plantations, diverse fruit stands and rural farming communities. You will be heading to Cahuita National Park, located about 1 hour from the pier.
At Cahuita National Park, the search for sloths will begin with a peaceful and picturesque nature walk into the park. At this park, many sloths are in their natural habitat and free. In here, you will learn about their natural history, behavior and many other interesting facts of this lovely animal. Besides sloths, you will be able to enjoy many other wildlife species such as monkeys, iguanas, snakes and others.
After Cahuita, you will continue the tour but this time taking a Boat Tour in Tortuguero Canal. During this nice journey, you will be able to see more Sloth’s, due they love to live close to the rivers. Sometimes, they are in the branches of the trees and at several meters from the boats, but sometimes they are very close, and you can take amazing pictures of them.

We had an amazing guide who grew up in Limon and also spoke English flawlessly. He knew the answers to all the questions. Most importantly, when the weather was bad and we were unable to hike into the rainforest he was able to pivot and take us to a private property to make sure we saw a sloth. On our river cruise portion we saw so much wildlike. It was truly amazing. Our guide is also a fabulous photographer and was able to take some great sloth pictures for me.

We had an interesting and informative tour and were very happy with the arrangements. We were greeted by our tour guide just outside the port and the tour departed on time. We followed the proposed itinerary and feel that we learned a lot about many aspects of the Costa Rican culture, economy and daily life. Our guide and driver were flexible in little ways that made the day most enjoyable and fun for the whole group. We would definitely recommend this tour.

We grabbed this trip from the port off of our cruise ship. It was reasonably priced and got us into a smaller group than what the ship would offer. They were easy to find off the ship and they pointed out a sloth as we were walking to the bus! We were led by Steven. He was great at explaining the local way of life as we drove. We pulled over to see the banana plantation. We hiked part of a rain forest and saw and heard howler monkeys and watched them play in the trees. We also saw a sloth moving in the trees. I was very pleased with the amount of animals we saw. We then had a boat ride and saw sloths and monkeys as well as various birds and a crocodile. It was a great and informative trip.

Our guide and driver were wonderful and helped taking my husbands scooter on and off the bus. A bit of a mix up at start but they fixed everything rather quickly
the Nature park and boat ride were well worth it. always on look out for monkeys and sloths for us. Water on bus was very handy as always. Keep up the good work.
