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!

Awesome park! - Really beautiful grounds. Animals were fascinating and so adorable. The staff were so kind and happy to inform you about any questions you might have, and any details you’d like to know. The animal enclosures were really cool too, everything looked amazingly looked after. Watched Lucy the sloth be fed aswell which was really great, the keeper looked really happy to be doing it aswell, making me feel like the animals really are brilliantly looked after. Honestly is the best zoo i’ve ever been to.

Hikes in Matapalo Beach - I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Riu Palace, I took interesting photos of shorebirds and raptors on the beach of Matapalo that adjoins the Hotel

Incredible! - This was a very nice trip with so much to see and experience. From the orchid garden, the butterfly exhibit, the wild cats and the poisonous jungle frogs and snakes. All great but we also had a sloth class and watched one of 3 being fed. All the staff are very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was easy walking too.

Very nice sanctuary, worth visiting - Beautiful habitats for animals. Very interesting to go see the diet of the sloths and the time when they take out the jaguars and pumas. The guides give a lot of information about the species and why the animals are on site (often seizures). Beautiful variety of animals, visit at our own pace.

Really enjoyable trip to Diamante - We really enjoyed our trip to see the animals in Diamante. The staff were very friendly and knew a lot about the animals in their care and you could tell that they were passionate about them. It was great to see the sloths being fed quite close to where we were stood and to see the magnificent jaguars. A number of the animals are rescues that have been brought in when they had been injured, so they do a lot of good work there. I'd definitely recommend a trip here if you're in the area and on top of that I would say it's somewhere worth really supporting.

Great visit - Great few hours spent exploring the animal sanctuary, all the staff we came across were so informative and obviously love their jobs. The young man in the frog/toad section was so informative. The talk we were given about coffee and chocolate was really interesting, made even better by the young men giving the talk who made everyone feel really welcome, they addressed us all by name which was a nice touch 😊
