Punta Uva is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful hidden corners — a quiet Caribbean beach surrounded by rainforest and wildlife.

What makes this tour special is the chance to see both species of sloths in their natural habitat, guided by a local expert who knows every corner of the jungle. You’ll paddle through calm mangroves, walk along tropical trails, and visit a scenic viewpoint and a cave — all while learning about the area’s history, plants, and culture.

It’s a relaxed and educational adventure that combines the best of wildlife watching, kayaking, and Caribbean nature in one unforgettable experience.

What to expect

Paddle through the calm estuary and walk along jungle trails and beaches with a professional local guide, visiting a scenic viewpoint and a hidden cave. Along the way, you’ll learn about the region’s history, plants, and culture while searching for wild sloths in their natural habitat.

The South Caribbean jungle of Punta Uva is home to both species of sloths found in Costa Rica — the two-toed and the three-toed sloth — as well as turtles, colorful frogs, butterflies, and a variety of tropical birds and mammals.

We’re committed to ethical ecotourism: no cages, no feeding, no forced encounters — just genuine wildlife experiences in their natural environment.

Because this is a true nature tour, wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but on most days we find several sloths (often 5–10 or more) and enjoy many other animal encounters along the way.
