Family experience The property we visited to view the sloths and other wildlife is locally owned and operated and the guides are volunteers from the nearby community. The chocolate and coffee tour was also at a small local farm. We try to support small local businesses when traveling as much as possible as we’ve had some of our most memorable experiences that way. Luckily for us, our wonderful tour guide Wilmar of Guanacaste Adventure Tours has the same philosophy. Use Wilmar if you are looking for an authentic local experience! At the wildlife sanctuary, we saw several sloths, frogs and even a small boa constrictor. One sloth was hanging out in a tree at our eye level so we were able to get some great pictures. The property also has many beautiful plants and trees to and our guide explained their traditional uses to us. The coffee and cocoa tour was hands-on and we got the opportunity to grind cacoa and coffee the old fashioned way. Very interesting!
