Skip the Line: Diamante Eco Adventure Park: Animal Sanctuary Discovery Ticket
Description
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. Diamante 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.

It is listed as a sanctuary but basically it’s a zoo. A lot of the exhibits were under renovation and so we missed a lot of the toucans, parrots, and other animal that my kiddo wanted to see. $144? IMO not worth the money for trip.
Cool place , super clean but very pricey for what it is .
Went on family vacation and our morning was open. Decided to book the animal sanctuary. It did not disappoint! We saw jaguars, ocelots, toucans, pumas, and monkeys, among others. The highlight of the visit were the sloths. They were in the open and so close!! They also offer zip lines, ATVs! Would highly recommend.
Very disappointed. Went there to see two animals. Sloth and toucans. You were supposed to be able to walk into there enclosure and both were closed for construction. They did not say anything about that I even said to the lady we are only here for the two Then go to see the sloths and both are up in the tree where u could even see them Very bad day on top of that it cost 110. For two people Drove 1hr and wasted over 150.00
The animal sanctuary is still maintained and well-staffed. There were lots of helpful staff around to answer questions. Lots of animals and you can get up very close. We spent 2-3 hours. It's basically a zoo but most animals are native. Nice way to spend a half day.
The experience was awesome seeing all the animals especially the Monkey's and the sloths
We are so glad you enjoyed the animal sanctuary.
Free hotel pick up and drop off for Riu guests! Our cultural tour guide was awesome! We tried delicious coffee and chocolate! With our guide explaining each step of the process! Learning about sugarcane was very interesting and much recommended! The animal sanctuary was beautiful, lots of new animals you’ve probably never seen in person. It might rain because it’s a rainforest but don’t let it discourage you from going! It made the experience unforgettable in the best way possible! ¡Pura vida!
We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us at Diamante and the cultural tour.
The sanctuary was great , staff was super friendly and very knowledgable about all the different animals . the park was super clean and the animals looked very well taken care of.
Thank you so much for your five-star review.
Animal pass and coffee/chocolate/cane sugar. Very beautiful educational day and excellent buffet on site not too expensive. The paper map they give you could be a little more precise. Big negative point: 2 small Gatorades cost me $9US at the shop and they were room temperature. Furthermore, they only accept US dollars.
Merci!
My two grandchildren say this should be rated A+. We got to see the processes of the coffee and the chocolate being made and we got to taste both as well as the sugar cane chewing! The animal sanctuary was very very nice!
We love it when families have such a great experience with us. Thank you for your review.
