full FAQ
I want to touch or hold a sloth. May I? Can I volunteer, work, intern or help at the Sanctuary? I’m coming to visit! Where can I get water & snacks? Where can I learn about sloths?Media inquiries
I WANT TO HOLD OR TOUCH A SLOTH. MAY I? No. Per MINAE conservation regulations, only Sanctuary staff are allowed to handle sloths. When handled by unfamiliar people, sloths exhibit tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate) that weakens the heart muscle, a cause of premature death. Also, foreign microbes and allergens attached to guests can compromise rescued sloths’ immune systems. NOTE: Avoid roadside locals who lure tourists to pose for photos holding a sloth. They will tear a baby away from its mother to exploit it for money. After they take your photo, they discard the baby inhumanely, leaving it to die from malnutrition or dehydration. If you see someone trying this, please take a photo of the person, then call 911 to report them to the police. _top of page_ CAN I VOLUNTEER, WORK, INTERN OR HELP AT THE SANCTUARY? We are not hiring volunteers or staff. We are proud to employ local Costa Ricans and also offer veterinary clinical rotations solely to university students who reside in Costa Rica. We do not endorse or recommend any particular Costa Rican conservation volunteer program. For your inspiration, this article discusses some opportunities and ideas in Costa Rica. _top of page_ I’M COMING TO VISIT! WHERE CAN I GET BOTTLED WATER & SNACKS? Purified bottled drinking water is essential for your comfort & health in tropical Costa Rica. On your way here, seek out a local market or our favorite, Auto Mercado (multiplelocations
