Sleeping With Sloths in Costa Rica

Where: Costa Rica
March 29, 2007 at 2:30 PM | by djk | 1 Comment



Aviarios del Caribe is a nature preserve and wildlife sanctuary near Limon, Costa Rica. What makes the property so special is the fact that it specializes in sloths (not to be confused with lazy backpackers). The Buttercup Center is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of sloths. The Center offers day tours, but to really ensconce yourself in the wonders of slothdom, you'll want to stay overnight.

The on-site lodge is a steal at $65 (+ tax) per night, including breakfast and a Sloth Rescue Center Tour. It's convenient to Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, as well as all the sloths and river otters your heart can handle. We could all learn a lesson from the little guy above. When climbing up the metaphorical cardboard box of life gets tough, simply yawn and pass out.
