Sloths

[Purvis1231]

We did an excursion in Honduras with the Shore Excursion Group (Creg Henry was the tour operator) to a sloth/monkey/bird exhibit because the Carnival excursion was sold out. It is a nice uphill walk to meet the excursion although half way up you can get a taxi for $2 per person to take you the rest of the way. Once we got the meeting point, the three of us got into a beat-up Toyota Corolla. The driver was an outgoing local woman who was well spoken and provided a lot of information about the island. The exhibit was quite disappointing. It was a rundown group of buildings. The monkeys were mostly in cages although some were free in the trees. The actual interaction with the animals was fun but brief. I hope they were well-care kept. The driver then took us to a chocolate store, and then a rum cake store that had a great view of a bay. Overall, I would not recommend this tour.

Do you remember the name of the sloth/monkey place?  There are now several on the island.

The rum cake store and the chocolate store are both on the West end so I assume the sloth place was nearby.

Certainly was not Daniel Johnson's Monkey Sloths, as they take good care of their animals. The others are copycats and I've heard some bad things about 1 or 2 of them.
