There are so many interesting things to see in the world around us and in many cases, we just don’t take the opportunity to see them. In reality, however, it doesn’t take a lot of effort on our part to gain such an appreciation because we only have to look outside of our window or perhaps even in our own living room. That is where you will find animals and regardless of whether it is a house pet or a wild animal, they tell us something about the world where we live and it times, even about us and the rest of humanity.
Although there are many opportunities that we have to enjoy animals, sometimes we have to take a vacation in order to see them in their natural habitat. After all, I doubt that there are many wild lions walking down the middle of the road where you live but then again, if you were to go on safari, you can see where they live. Even if lions are not your thing, there is still likely another animal that you will appreciate and I think that a sloth is a good place to start. They are known for their slow speeds and relaxed attitude, and if you’ve never had the opportunity to interact with them, it’s really well worth doing so.
If you are interested in seeing a sloth up close and personal, you might want to consider checking out the Nayara Springs and Resort in Costa Rica. When you visit, you may just have the chance to spend some time with a sloth in their natural habitat. It is a sanctuary that opened in 2017 and people love visiting.
In an effort to protect the species, tourists are able to interact with them. 300 trees were also planted to make a wildlife preserve that would be to their liking.
You can go out to see these animals in the Costa Rican jungle or hang out at the resort and watch them as they come through. The resorts are environmentally friendly, as you can see on their website, which says: “Our structures are built using local artisan materials that both support the Costa Rican economy and safeguard its environment.”
It continued: “We believe in preventive maintenance; we use CFL light bulbs that conserve energy and our rooms are equipped with energy-saving key cards that automatically turn-off as soon as the guest leaves the room. We take advantage of natural light in all of our facilities; our rooms have screens that allow for cross ventilation.”
Their site adds: “Water-saving is also a large priority; we encourage our guests to reuse towels and linens, our faucets and showers have flow reducers and aerators that conserve water.”
