  • C

    Crystal

    Asked on March 26th, 2026

    will the itinerary cover Sloths spotting? -are the turtles going to be seen duing the tour in early May -are there any birds spotting part of the itinerary?

    Tour Details
    • Destination Services Costa RicaOperatorWritten March 2026

      Tortuguero, Sarapiqui, and Arenal are fantastic places to spot sloths. While the nesting season for turtles begins in July, Tortuguero remains a remarkable destination for animal and nature lovers, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in lush landscapes and diverse wildlife.

      Although our program doesn't include specific bird spotting sessions, early mornings can be magical for birdwatching. Just a stroll around your hotel's surroundings may reveal a variety of bird species.
