Would you love to see a sloth in it's natural habita on a Caribbean beach? Punta Uva serves as a favorite among visitors.

You will be kayaking and walking the jungle trails and beaches with a professional guide visiting a amazing viewpoint and a cave.

We believe every animal is a important part of an ecosystem and that they don't belong behind a fence for human show. So the best way to support the sustainability is by ecotourism activities like this one. This tour is in search of wildlife so there's a possibility that we might not see what we are out to find. The sloths are not in cages and move around freely on this beach and sometimes but hardly ever just don't want to be seen. But 99% of the time we do find them and see up to 10 or more on good days.
