Experience one of Guanacaste’s greatest natural wonders: sloths in their native habitat. Driving from the lowlands of Guanacaste, at the base of majestic active volcanoes, snaking between the giant Miravalles and Tenorio volcanos, you will cross the continental divide and enter into Bijagua. Bijagua means “two waters” and is named after the influence of the climate and the rain on the area. This is a nature hikers' paradise, replete with the biodiversity for which Costa Rica is famous. And, of course, the sloths, hanging from the trees and branches, always "smiling." Usually, mothers will be carrying their babies. Bijagua also provides the perfect climate and rainforest environment for exotic reptiles and frogs, like the Red Eyed Frog, Green-and-Black Poison Arrow Frog, Blue Jeans Frog. For wildlife lovers, put this on your “Must-Do” list while visiting Costa Rica. Did you know that Sloths spend 90% of their time upside down?

At Monkey Park, we have recently begun implementing new non-imprinting methods of animal welfare to our rehabilitation-to-release programs. We have done this by considering the following question: How has nature survived for millions of years? The answers, through remarkable intelligence and a naturally elusive tendency to distance themselves from humans, have prompted us to attempt to do the same. By minimizing our contact with wild animals, we are able to dramatically increase the animal survival rate after successful rehabilitation. Since any ecosystem depends on a healthy and complete species selection, we rehabilitate only wild animals that are able to contribute to the natural gene bank. Monkey Park Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization operating in Portegolpe, Costa Rica. And is not affiliated with any other organizations or businesses.
