Discover the Sloths of Bijagua: Your Rainforest Wildlife Experience
The Bijagua Sloth Tour offers a highly sought-after experience for guests of all ages seeking to observe Costa Rican wildlife up close. This full-day adventure is the optimal way to find both two-toed and three-toed sloths in their tranquil, native rainforest habitat. Transportation is provided in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles, with direct pickup available from accommodations, including The Westin Reserva Conchal (also known as the Westin Resort in Brasilito). The journey heads inland from the Guanacaste Gold Coast to the lush North Central Valley, immersing visitors in a world of profound natural biodiversity.
The experience begins upon arrival at a private, 10-acre nature reserve—a pristine wildlife corridor nestled between the Tenorio and Miravalles volcanoes.
Expert Guidance in a Sloth Haven
The centerpiece of the day is the guided exploration, where Expert Guidance is paramount to success. A knowledgeable local naturalist leads the leisurely, approximately hour-long hike along shaded, well-maintained trails. These guides are specifically trained to locate creatures that are masters of camouflage. Using a powerful spotting scope, the guide provides unforgettable, close-up views of both the Two-Toed and Three-Toed Sloth in the canopy. Guests will learn fascinating facts about the sloths’ slow metabolism, diet, and unique adaptations to life in the jungle.
More Than Just Sloths: Wildlife Encounters
While the sloths are undoubtedly the stars, the vibrant rainforest is constantly teeming with life, ensuring amazing Wildlife Encounters. Guides consistently scan the surroundings, pointing out White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys, colorful Toucans, and a variety of tiny, iconic frogs, such as the vibrant Blue Jeans Frog and the famous Red-Eyed Tree Frog. The highly biodiverse habitat guarantees new discoveries around every corner.
