61 Things I Learned At The World's Most Important Sloth Sanctuary Fun Love
Basically one of the coolest places in the world.
The Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica is the most important sloth sanctuary in the world, and it is pretty damn hard to get to.
Located four hours from the nearest airport, you have to drive through a jungle on a crazy two-lane road to get there. As someone who doesn't drive much, let alone in a different country, it was a legit challenge. There was almost, for real, a mudslide! It was scary, but totally worth it because sloths.

The sanctuary currently hosts over 350 sloths (!!!!).
It's open six days a week for tours and you can even stay overnight. We spent four nights there.

Right when you get into the sanctuary, there's a huge statue of an actual life-size prehistoric sloth.
This is what sloths used to look like. They were monsters, but not really. They were probably pretty gentle and humans killed them off because we are assholes.

The sloth sanctuary has the best room names ever because they're named after sloths and any room named after a sloth is a pretty cool room, especially if the sloth's name is Johnny Depp.
I got to stay in this bad boy, and by bad boy, I mean room.
