La Paz Waterfall Gardens/ Sloth Sanctuary

Hi All,

Has anyone made it up to the La Paz Waterfall Gardens or Peace Lodge since the reopening? How are the roads?

Also, anyone ever visit the sloth sanctuary, Aviarios del Caribe just down from Puerto Limon? How recommended was the experience?

Thanks so much

We went to the Aviarios about two weeks ago - we took the public bus from Cahuita (about $1) and did the long tour ($25) which included a boat ride (birdwatching wildlife watching). But you can visit the restaurant and see many of the babies and Buttercup (the first sloth rescued) for free. Or you can do a simplified tour (just the sloths) for less. Definitely recommend it.

Hi, Yes I highly recommend the sloth sanctuary. Please read my travel blog on the web costaricalearn
Go to search box top right on the first page and type sloth refuge. Also the category is: national parks and wildlife refuges, and you can also find it that way. You will find a very informative article all about it. Have not yet visited the waterfall gardens since the earthquake, however i understand it is now open with only a couple water falls, so road must be pretty good. Have a nice trip. costaricalearn

I never went to the sloth sanctuary...I will be adding this to my list now!
But yes, La Paz gardens are amazing. If you like gardens and waterfalls then you could be here all day. The food is excellent too!
The roads should be in good shape now. If you are staying near San Jose for a night then this is a must visit.
