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!

Our experience in Diamond Eco Adventure park - Last Monday I and my family visited diamond, we learned about the culture of Costa Rica, we zip-lined (almost died) and then we visited the Animal Sanctuary was very melodious, we loved the vibe of the place the animals were beautiful, the very friendly guides, especially Fabricio, a parcero we found in the snakes gave us a super amazing mini-tour of the area and made our diamond experience even better, certainly an excellent guide. Also noteworthy are the activities they have with animals especially with jaguars and crocodiles, we hope to visit diamond again soon!💘🙉

Absolutely wonderful tour! Highly recommend - Absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Alex was so informative and fun. The animals are beautiful and so well taken care of. We took so many photos and the view from the Resturaunt was beyond gorgeous. The food was so good. We also really enjoyed Kevin at the coffee sugar and cocoa portion of the tour was also very fun and informative. It was a blast and to be able to be hands on was great. To learn about coffee cocoa and sugar was super fun ! I cant recommend this tour enough, kids and adults alike will enjoy it !

Animal Sanctuary Costa Rica - Wonderful Experience. The animals were very interractive and alert. It was the funnest animal sanctuary we have ever been to. The grandkids loved it too and kept asking to go back. The lunch they provided was very tasty and filling. Wonderful Experience.

Family friendly activity - Took our three year old and 6 month old to the animal sanctuary and we thought it was great. We encountered many knowledgeable and friendly staff that all seemed to want to go above and beyond. Special shout out to Terry (not sure on spelling) in the butterfly area. Sanctuary is fully accessible, we had our infant in a stroller no issues, and plenty of shade to escape into. Would highly recommend a visit for families in the area. Pura vida

Fun day close to Riu - Staff was great, maybe in a hurry but they had a lot of people to zip line. They were careful and through so no worries. There were 12-year-olds doing the zip lines. I am 72 and it was relatively easy to do. The animal sanctuary was ok, too hot and the animals were sleeping but the staff took the time to discuss the animals with us. Lots of information even though the animals were dormant. Check out the coffee, botanical area, interesting information of coffee in the country.

Very fun animal experience! - Diamante far exceeded our expectations. We did the animal sanctuary tour and the exhibits and grounds were beautiful, with tons of interesting animals! It felt like a magical jungle. The shade was very welcome! We particularly enjoyed the howler monkeys that settled in above the grounds and the sloth feeding (they did not want to eat). We did the buffet after our tour and thought the food was quite good and worth the price. There are shuttle vans and open-air buses to take you around the park, which our preschooler really enjoyed as part of the adventure! We tend to avoid these types of tourist activities, but this was truly one of our most enjoyable activities in Costa Rica.

Animals at home! - My sister and I visited the animal sanctuary and we really appreciated the knowledge of the keepers who had insights on the lives and habits of the animals there. Many had been rescued from unfortunate circumstance and were able to live out a lifetime of goodness and care thanks to the people at the park. It was a gift to get to visit a variety of species. Thank you for caring for the animals and making this their home. I'm certain donations would be appreciated so how about creating a foundation to help care for the animals,? Just an awesome place. 👍

Meh. - Not quite what we expected...more caged zoo-like. We were mis-led on feeding time for the cats. But we saw many animals.
