f all Costa Rica's fabulous wildlife, the sloth is considered a must-
see. It's also the Central American country's newest national
symbol. Both the two-toed sloth and three-toed brown sloth
spend much of their lives hanging upside down from tropical trees.
Their slow movements exemplify Costa Rica's easy-going Pura Vida
lifestyle. The furry mammal shares the national spotlight with the
carreta, the colourful oxcart used to transport coffee beans; the Gua-
nacaste or elephant-ear tree; and the Yiguirro bird, known for its long
and spirited song. VisitCostaRica.com

f you've dreamed of an Arctic expedition, Churchill Wild awaits.
In November, observe and photograph cloud wolves on the
southern coast of Hudson Bay. Or sign up for next spring's Journey
to the Floe Edge, where you'll guide a sea kayak through frigid waters,
navigating around ice floes and ridges. Ride a fat-tire bike along the
floe edge or settle into a dogsled for an authentic Arctic experience.
Sip an aperitif at the water's edge before returning to Seal River Her-
itage Lodge, one of the company's three five-star ecolodges. In
summer, Seal River is the place to observe polar bears and beluga
whales. Enjoy personalized service, cosy rooms and fine tundra-
inspired cuisine. Churchillwild.com
