La casita tipica ubicada dentro del Jardin Botanico es un gran lugar para aprender de la cultura agricola de Costa Rica -
Bob, Dylan, Ronaldo, and Messi are all from the same species of Yellow-throated Toucans. We were all confiscated by SINAC, which the administrator in Costa Rica for the nation's national parks, conservation areas, and other protected natural areas. All of us were illegally kept as pets, or someone was attempting to smuggle us out of Costa Rica. Who would ever want to leave Costa Rica?
A True Costa Rican Cultural Experience
Combine our Animal Sanctuary tour along with a tour of our Traditional House and Botanical Garden for full immersion into Costa Rica wildlife and culture. The Traditional House located in the Botanical Garden offers a guided hands-on experience with sugar cane, coffee, and chocolate.
The Botanical Garden is full of medicinal plants, fruit trees, and flowering plants. Your guide will help you learn more about how these were used in the past and still used today. The Animal Sanctuary and Wildlife Education Center offer you the opportunity to learn and see Costa Rica’s most beautiful animals up close.
Discovery Pass
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.
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. We work 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.
Diamante Cultural Experience
Take a step back in time at our Traditional Costa Rican farmhouse, commonly referred to as a “Casita” at our Botanical Garden. This historic farmhouse replicates the true design, style, and materials used by the average Costa Rican farmer for over a hundred years. This traditional house offers a history tour and cultural insight into the lives of rural Costa Ricans.
You will have the opportunity to learn how these rural farmers produced coffee, chocolate, and sugar extracting them from the cacao tree, coffee plants, and sugarcane. Guests will enjoy time with our staff as they show you dozens of flora and fauna and share with you various experiences that can include:
Cacao: Guests will have the opportunity to see cacao plants as well as learn about the origin and history of cacao. Guests will be educated on the process of drying and grinding the seeds and have the opportunity to make chocolate.
Coffee: It’s no secret that Costa Rica is famous for its coffee. Coffee has played a significant social, economic and even political role for the country. Diamante’s organic coffee plants are vibrant, healthy and uniquely found in Guanacaste.
Sugarcane: Along the walking trails in the Botanical Gardens, you’ll see our organic sugarcane crop. Our staff will teach you all about sugarcane agriculture in Costa Rica and share in one of the country’s most precious traditions. Guests will use the sugarcane press to make their very own sweet water “Agua Dulce.”
A Top-Rated Adventure Park in Costa Rica!
FULL DAY
OF FUN
I had an awesome time at Diamante. I bought the All Adventure Pass which was so worth it. Zip-lining was awesome and the staff is extremely efficient. I spent part of the day at the beach which is extremely chill and relaxing, with great views!

BEST ZIPLINE EXPERIENCE
We had a great time at the Zipline Excursions. The zipline operators were extremely friendly & hard working & made sure that a good time was had by all! The Superman Zipline part is probably a once in a lifetime experience that can’t be beat!
