Sloth Island (Isla Perezoso)
Isla Perezoso
A small mangrove island where, as the boat drifts slowly closer, you can spot three-toed sloths hanging from the branches.
Sloth Island is a small island in the mangrove waterways. Brown-throated three-toed sloths live year-round in the mangrove branches, and boatmen move the boat slowly closer so guests can search for them and take photos from the boat. Sloths move slowly and often curl into a ball, so binoculars or a telephoto lens help. The island is usually included in the southern island-hopping tour along with Dolphin Bay and Cayo Coral, with a stop of about 10–15 minutes. Please do not feed or touch the sloths.
