Hi, Melalvai, [Edit update: I thought you meant the Limon/La Cahuita area, but I now see that the Osa Peninsula is down south and west—Sorry.]

I'm so excited about your going to the Cahuita region, and I have just the place for you to visit! You won't be sorry one bit! In Spanish it's Refugio Aviarios del Caribe and it's a sloth sanctuary, the only one I know of in the world. The sloth is the most incredible animal, and this sanctuary has both the two-toed and three-toed sloth. Buttercup was the very first sloth rescued, and she is still there and is now quite famous. When I was there a few years ago, I was able to hold her, a moment in my life I'll never forget.

Here is the web site, and I hope you'll browse around here, as it's just the most fascinating place ever. By the way, it's also a small boutique-type hotel and a stone's throw to La Cahuita. :-)
