Discovery Pass

Located in the heart of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste Province, Diamante Eco Adventure Park offers an immersive experience through its Discovery Pass—Guanacaste’s largest animal sanctuary. This self-guided tour invites visitors to witness a rich collection of rescued wildlife thriving within habitats meticulously designed to mirror their natural environments. As you wander the sanctuary’s trails, you’ll come face-to-face with iconic Central American species such as sloths lazily hanging from branches, curious monkeys swinging from canopy to canopy, and the elusive jaguar navigating shaded undergrowth.

Diamante’s sanctuary plays a vital role in wildlife conservation, partnering with Costa Rica’s Ministry of Wildlife (MINAE) to care for animals rescued from unsafe conditions. The sanctuary not only provides a refuge but also educates visitors about the region’s biodiversity and ongoing efforts to protect these creatures and their ecosystems. The walk itself stretches over gentle terrain that suits all ages, allowing visitors to set their own pace over a typical 1.5-hour visit.

Interpretive signage throughout the sanctuary offers insights into the biology and behavior of the animals, making this more than just a viewing experience. The park’s location near Playa Matapalo places it within reach of Guanacaste’s renowned coastline and dry tropical forests, known for their distinct flora like towering Guanacaste trees and vibrant toucan populations. Diamante Eco Adventure Park stands out among Costa Rica’s outdoor destinations due to its focus on ethical wildlife interaction, providing safe, non-intrusive wildlife encounters that respect animal welfare.

Whether you're an animal enthusiast, a family seeking an engaging and educational outing, or an eco-conscious traveler eager to support sustainable tourism, the Discovery Pass offers a rare opportunity to connect intimately with Costa Rica’s wild residents in a setting that champions conservation first.
