The Experience

Before You Go

Dress for movement

Wear closed-toe shoes with secure soles and quick-dry clothing; platforms and short trails are uneven and can be slippery after rain.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

You’ll be near ocean and in exposed platforms; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life while staying sun-smart.

Hydrate and refill

Bring a refillable water bottle—water stations are available and staying hydrated helps with zip-line nerves and midday heat.

Follow sanctuary rules

Do not feed or touch animals unless a guide instructs you; the sanctuary handles rescued wildlife and follows strict welfare protocols.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early-morning Howler platform for glassy ocean photos and fewer tour groups
  • Traditional House demo—try the sugar-cane press and sample small-batch coffee for a taste of local rural life

Wildlife

  • Two-toed sloth
  • White-faced capuchin and howler monkeys

Conservation Note

Diamante operates rescue and rehabilitation programs and designs habitats for animal welfare; visitors are asked to follow no-feed rules and reduce plastic waste to protect ecosystems.

The park was developed with conservation and education in mind, pairing adventure infrastructure with a sanctuary that accepts rescued and rehabilitated Costa Rican wildlife.
