"Say Hello to my Little Friend"

We came across very cute and slow friend, a sloth.

While hiking in one of the trails, we came across this nice sloth who happen to wave, "hi" to us.  Traveling in Costa Rica, one can easily come across these cute animals. Many have been spotted crossing powerlines and going from tree to tree. There are even videos of them crossing the road.

Here is a funny look at a life of a Sloth in Zootopia. 

Costa Rican Wildlife

A glimpse at Costa Rican wildlife from sloaths, iguanas, monkeys, birds, caymans, and many more.

These exotic animals can be seen through out Costa Rica, as the country reserves most of it's land as National Parks. Many unhibited places has some of the most beautiful animals, critters, insects and birds.

Some animals like iguanas, monkeys and birds have adapted living close to development from humans. 

When you come to Costa Rica, make sure to bring your hiking shoes, bug repellent, and good binoclulars! You don't want to miss a thing when immersed in nature.

Pura Vida!
