Sloths Everywhere!

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

As I said before, I’ve been to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica many times. I’ve seen a few sloths on the tree tops and wondered if I was really looking at a leaf or a sloth.

After my amazing visit to the Sloth Rescue Center (Aviarios Del Caribe), I was bumping into these creatures left and right.

First, I was driving to the store and got stuck in a minor traffic jam. Instead of waiting in their cars, everyone was out on the road looking at something. So I joined the crowd. Right there, at its own leisurely rate a sloth was crossing the road. The sloth is one of the slowest animals on earth and certainly took its sweet time crossing over. Finally someone picked it up with a stick and helped it along. At this rate, if we had waited for him to cross on his own, I’m sure it would have taken at least an hour. And you know what? What’s the rush?

After that, I was chilling out at a restaurant when, Jim, the owner of Costa Rica Genie, told me there was a sloth by the pool area. We quickly ran over to find it and there it was just lounging, eating, and sleeping! It was so close that I didn’t even have to reach up to touch it.

You better come quick. The sloths are waiting for you!
