Sloths in Paradise!

Posted by
Nature guides declare that two-toed sloths and three-toed sloths share common territories in the Costa Rican rainforest, and we now have photographic proof!  Yesterday, a Hoffman’s two-toed sloth, Choloepus hoffmanni,  parked herself in an acerola cherry tree near our reception area. She calmly (of course!) posed for our guests and spent a leisurely day with […]

A Glimpse of Regeneration

Posted by
The answer is soil:  the question is irrelevant!  That’s our deepest belief at Finca Luna Nueva.   How do we satisfy the bottomless hunger of the mounting human population?  How do we remedy the loss of up to 70% of the planet’s topsoil?  How do we maintain productivity in the face of climate extremes, including […]

The reader will surely be surprised that of the more than 1,100 species of bats known (Simmons 2005), approximately […]

“Birds do it, bees do it… People say in Boston even beans do it. Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.” Cole Porter, Birds Do It, Bees Do It   We at Finca Luna Nueva agree with those Bostonians:  beans do it!  Vanilla beans, that is.   Abundant vanilla vines produce large displays of orchid […]

Baby Sloth’s Great Adventure!

Posted by
We love our three-toed sloths at Luna Nueva, and the good news is that more and more are arriving.  Over the past few years we’ve welcomed many baby three-toed sloths into the Luna family, and our guests often develop quite an attachment to the little ones.   We estimate that there are dozens of three-toed […]
