At Parque de Aventura Las Nubes in Nicaragua, visitors embark on an exhilarating journey through a tropical forest, witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat. The park, under the stewardship of owner and guide Gustavo Adolfo Morice, showcases animals like sloths and howler monkeys, where conservation efforts ensure their freedom. With an understanding of the forest's rhythms, guides provide intimate encounters with various wildlife species, enhancing the travel experience beyond mere destination to an extraordinary journey of discovery in a vital ecological corridor.
After boarding an open-air, all-terrain vehicle, I was driven through a tropical forest to the top of a mountain on a narrow, improbably steep road.
The private reserve is also located on the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor where most wildlife travel south to north or north to south crossing between South America and North America.
I'd seen sloths before but only at a tourist attraction where they were caught, caged, and put on display. That sort of thing wouldn't fly at Parque de Aventura Las Nubes.
The preserve sits within a natural migratory corridor. Plus, the guides know the rhythms of the forest, where the animals move, when they rest, and how to spot them.
