Canopy + Sloth Tour
Adrenaline in the morning, sloths in the afternoon
Overview
This is the combination most couples and families end up booking: the full waterfall canopy circuit, then a guided sloth walk on a quiet rainforest trail where both two-toed and three-toed sloths live year round. The pairing works because the two halves ask nothing of each other - you get the rush of the cables while you are fresh, then slow right down for the sloth walk, which is entirely flat and shaded. Guides carry high-powered telescopes and set them up on every animal they find, so you see faces and claws rather than a distant grey lump.
