Location
Diamante Eco Adventure Park
Diamante’s Animal Sanctuary is one of the finest wildlife education centers in Costa Rica. Lush gardens surround the shaded walking trails and offer guests the opportunity to explore the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica. Diamante is home to a large variety of Costa Rican animals that are in need. Some of the animals in our care have been born in other wildlife management programs for scientific and educational purposes; others are rescued and placed in our management by the authorities of Costa Rica. These animals are not fit for life in the natural environment and are cared for by a large team of qualified and dedicated professionals. Our Animal sanctuary in Costa Rica is known for its world-class habitat designs that address the needs of each species. The unique design of the habitats allows guests to view and learn about key aspects of biology, ecology and natural history of the animals. Diamante’s bilingual team is known for excellent customer service and focus on education and raising awareness among visitors and locals about the importance of respect and the protection of wildlife. Diamante works directly with a body of professionals in biology and veterinary medicine and with technical and legal supervision by officials of the SINAC, which is the government entity in charge of the country’s wildlife. If you’ve ever wanted to visit a sloth sanctuary, or view exotic animals up close, you can’t miss a visit to our incredible Costa Rica wildlife sanctuary!

Very good tour and excellent lunch buffet - An excellent initiative, for the care and conservation of animals that cannot return to their natural habitat, obviously because of man.

Beautiful experience - Our visit to the Animal Sanctuary at Diamante Eco Adventure Park was absolutely unforgettable! The sanctuary is beautifully maintained, and it was amazing to see how well the animals are cared for. We got an up close look at sloths, toucans, monkeys, jaguars, and more, all in spacious, natural enclosures that reflect their habitats. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about conservation and education. This experience was both fun and inspiring, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

Extensive animal sanctuary - My family and I had a great time at the animal sanctuary. Our walk around the park started early in the morning at 9am with the sloth feeding and info session. It was amazing seeing the sloths in person and watching them eat. There were only 3 sloths but that was enough for us to watch them interact with each other. This park is home to only the 2 toed sloths (which have longer snouts, and no tail). We listened to a park keeper that provided us with interesting facts on both the jaguars and pumas. We went into several enclosed structures and saw beautuful blue morpho butterflies and cool toucans. We visited the monkeys, saw turtles, iguanas, and many other animals! We ate a simple buffet lunch which was situated next to the zip line!! We watched as ppl zip lined across, some got stuck and we were entertained watching them get rescued. It was a beautiful view at the buffet lunch area where the you could see Riu hotel, the forest, ocean, and zip lining! We thoroughly enjoyed this park, and wish we could have utilized an all day pass, but we had only 4hours and that was just enough time for my family to visit the animal sanctuary and have lunch. If we had more time we would have went zip lining as well! The all day park pass does appear to be a great deal at $125. We would highly recommend this park. Although, be prepared to be feasted on by mosquitos if you are a mosquito magnet as my husband came out with 10 new mosquito bites (mostly around his lower legs). A fellow traveller felt so badly for my husband and family when they saw their mosquito covered bodies and were kind enough to offer mosquito repellent and topical medication to apply. Overall, a great morning at Diamante Eco Adventure Park!

Memories just off the beach - A great day in the animal sanctuary just off the coast. Just ignore the google maps that takes you off road through the riverbed! Exciting but unnecessary. The sanctary was incredible and staffed by polite and incredibly informative hosts. Walking in the cafe with toucans, seeing the sloths up close and being landed on by butterflies is simply amazing.

Beautiful discovery - The people who work there are interesting, the animals Magnificent and may have realized that they are well cared for and treated there. It is a beautiful place visited with family, couple or even solo. Everything is well thought out and organize for a beautiful time.

Don't worth the cost! - The failure of the snake enclosure lighting and the absence of staff to address the issue rendered this tour unsatisfactory and not commensurate with its cost.

Just something to do - I did the eco-friendly adventure. On arrival you meet an open sided train type bus, which takes you up a steep hill into the park area. You have to wait for this bus to take you back down the hill, it comes fairly often. This is a Small scale zoo. Located directly adjacent to a hotel. The tour guide for the big cat exhibit was very informative, and I enjoyed that portion of my visit. There was also a tree filled with monkeys which was interesting, but, you had to watch out for droppings. The guide for the amphibian house was very informative on the different types of frogs and their environments. There was otherwise not much to see. You could walk the entire zoo area in about an hour, if not stopping to view anything specific. Alcoholic drinks available for purchase.
