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!

Great time had by all - Diamante Eco park is an excellent opportunity to get up close with the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. The reptile exhibits are well maintained and provide a great variety. The butterfly area is set up very nice with a great display showing the stages of development. The ability to get close to the sloth and Big cats was great. In addition the employees are wonderful and the ground were very clean. Great overall experience.

Must visit - We did the discovery pass, which included the animals and the culture tour. The animals were amazing and well cared for. We enjoyed the sloth feeding, jaguar discovery, butterflies, and the guide with the Toucans, we was very knowledgeable. There are many more animals to see as well. Kevin from the culture tour was funny and he included everyone in our tour group in the conversation. The kids still talk about him and the tour. His co-worker from the little farm next door was very kind and went above and beyond to let the children pet and feed the animals.

Go spend a few hours! - Great little self guided tour. We did the Wildlife Sanctuary tour and enjoyed seeing all of the different animals up close. It felt considerably different from a zoo in that it seemed more personal. The staff in the bird enclosure and in the butterfly enclosure were very knowledgeable and kind. A+++

Awesome way to spend a day and enjoy the serenity of the Park and all of its beautiful animals! - We have been here a few times now, but this time we went with friends that had never been before. All of us had an amazing day. We loved all of the animals, and had a lovely lunch as well. The four of us highly recommend spending a day here. The Cultural Tour is always informative and fun as well.

Fun day at the animal sanctuary - We came for the animal sanctuary and basically it was like a mini zoo but everyone loved it so much! Be sure to be there for a sloth feeding. Seeing a toucan and the butterfly room - also really cool! Cool off with a strawberry smoothie (with or without alcohol)! All in all - a fun time!

Beautiful - Beautiful park, well maintained. Incredible animals, birds, insects and reptiles. Lots of very knowledgeable guides that talk to us and answer questions. Bathrooms clean. Our 4 year old grandson loved it! We were a little lost at the park entrance but a guide helped us. There should be more signs to guide. Wish they had more options for food. You have to take the buffet Overall we had a great day!!

Nice sanctuary to see the animals up close. - Well maintained sanctuary. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions about the animals. The only downside was that we purchased tickets in advance and we still had to stand in line for 20 minutes to redeem our wristbands to get in.

DISAPPOINTING - Very disappointing to pay US136 per person for an activity that is good but is not worth more than half that value. The poor food, the ridiculous cultural tour, In the supermas that is good they don't worry about your experience, it is very uncomfortable that they leave you with your head in a position where your neck is sore. height of any park in the world that charges that entrance standard. It's a booby buster. Costa Rica is much more than this. The species they show you do not even represent 3% of what there is in Costa Rica.
