La Fortuna is teeming with wildlife. From slow-moving sloths to colorful toucans and loud howler monkeys, you don't need to travel far to see Costa Rica's iconic fauna.
1. Curated Sloth Trails
The Bogarin Trail and local sloth routes offer excellent chances to view sloths in their natural habitat. Booking a guided tour (like our Coffee, Chocolate & Sloth Trail Tour) is highly recommended, as local guides use spotting scopes to point them out high in the trees.
2. Mistico Canopy Walk
Walking across the suspension bridges at Mistico Park puts you eye-to-eye with the canopy, where spider monkeys and colorful toucans nest.
Wildlife in Our Backyard
You don't even have to leave the property to experience nature. Leonaras Arenal features a private garden. In the mornings, you can enjoy Costa Rican coffee on the balcony while watching toucans feed on the trees, or listen to the howler monkeys in the nearby creek. Book your private country house stay today and immerse yourself in the jungle.
