Look up! Where to see a sloth in Cahuita

Many visitors to La Casa del Mango really want to see a sloth during their stay in Cahuita.  Well, it really isn't so hard!  This sloth was hanging out on the electricity cables on the main road into town during the day, although they are usually more active and so easier to see at night. 

Places to see sloths in Cahuita:

• the almond tree in front of the police station
• next to Sobre Las Olas restaurant
  
• hanging out on the electricity cables in town
  
• ask the rangers in the National Park when entering to find out where they've spotted sloths that day
  
• in the huge mango tree at La Casa del Mango
  

Now, sloths are not static, although they do move very slowly. However, they're creatures of habit and so tend to be in the same places regularly.  They're also very fond of almond leaves, so keep scanning the almond trees that grow at the side of Black Beach and the trees in the National Park.  You're pprobably going to see them up high as they only come down to the ground to poop every couple of weeks.

If you're not lucky enough to see one in the wild, then take a trip to the Tree of Life to see one of their rescued sloths up close.
