Itinerary
At just one hour from Liberia, Bijagua is our first stop and is well known for its diverse wildlife as well as for the two different sloth species you can find here: two- toed sloth and three-toed sloth.
Arriving at the sanctuary you’ll walk along the hiking trails for about 1 mile (1.5 km) in the Sloth Territory. Your guide is an expert at spotting sloths, keep your eyes open and discover several species of birds and frogs.
After the hike, while your traditional lunch is being prepared by loving costarrican hands, you can enjoy the colors of many varieties of “mariposas” in the Butterfly Garden.
Next stop: the tropical forest at the foothills of the Miravalles Volcano. Enjoy the spectacular mud baths and mineral pools experience. This is the only place in Costa Rica where visitors can walk inside an active crater and feel how powerful Mother Nature can be!
