Asiel was a friendly tour guide. He is knowledgeable and able to find the animals we would never spot on our own.

Our Sloth & Wildlife Nature Walk was absolutely fantastic! The guide was not only very competent, but also very personable and responded to all questions. We have seen so many animals that you would hardly have discovered on your own, and each explanation was exciting and easy to understand. An all-round unforgettable experience – highly recommended for nature and animal lovers

This experience was exceptional due to our highly knowledgeable guide, Asiel, whose passion for his work was evident in his efforts to ensure our tour was enjoyable. I recommend scheduling an earlier tour, before the sun comes fully out, for a greater likelihood of spotting stunning wildlife and sloths in the beautiful nature preserve.

This tour was one of the best I have taken on any trip, Asiel was so knowledgeable and answered every question I had about different animals we saw. I was able to see NINE sloths, which isn’t common, but he made sure I had a great view of each of them through the telescope, and would tell about their estimated age and what they were doing. Highly recommend!!!

Mega sympathetic guide who takes his time so that you can see many animals (especially Sloths) could see. He also always had an answer to our questions about flora and fauna and we learned a lot about it. 100% recommended

Fantastic experience with our guide Acielo who was so knowledgeable about the sloths and other insects & frogs that we saw in our walk. Acielo spoke great English and knew so much. One of the best tours we’ve ever taken.

Great guide, you absolutely have to make Our guide Asiel told us a lot of interesting facts. With a lot of flair he finds animals like the few cm tall blue jeans frog, many birds and of course sloths ... we would never have seen this alone. Asiel has a very sympathetic nature and could also answer all questions very expertly. Muchas gracias for this great experience!

Our guide was phenomenal! This was a perfect way to see sloths in their natural habitat. I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Note: when you arrive don't expect a building or sign. You will meet a guide on the side of the road and enter the preserve through a gate near the water.
