The forest surrounding Arenal Volcano is host to a number of exotic species. Sloths are some of the most lovable — these gentle creatures are as strange as they are peaceful. Your guide knows where they like to relax after a tiring day of eating leaves, and spotting a sloth in the wild is all but guaranteed.
