The Colombian Amazon around Puerto Narino and Amacayacu National Park is home to both three-toed and two-toed sloths, watched from canoes drifting along flooded forest channels. Community guides know the trees the animals favour, and the same trips bring pink river dolphins and monkeys. Sightings hold up much of the year, with the drier spells around July to September the easiest for travel.
