    Sloth and Wildlife Observation: As part of our ecological vision, we support a local family who has created conditions on their property for sloths to live in their natural state. It's super easy to see them up close, as there are several trees that are their food source but of low height. This is unique to the area, and it contributes to the conservation of these beautiful animals and local families.
