What this day is for
Sloth sanctuary excursions are Puerto Limon's most family-friendly shore option - rescued two- and three-toed sloths, monkeys and other rainforest animals in managed habitats with naturalist guides. Drive times from the cruise terminal are manageable, and the format suits mixed-age groups who want close-up wildlife without a long canal day.
