Beyond the Zipline at Diamante
Kick off your day at Diamante Eco Adventure Park with the ocean-view Superman zipline—quick briefing, gear check, then you’re flying face-forward over the forest. Cap the run with a 30-ft controlled free fall (hello, butterflies!). On the Adventure Pass, the course keeps the fun going across the hanging bridge above the crocodile pond—snap the pic, breathe and smile.
Now switch gears to what makes Diamante unforgettable: the Animal Sanctuary. Aim for a sloth feeding at 9:30, 12:30, or 3:30, and if you’re here on Wednesday or Sunday, don’t miss jaguar enrichment—it’s the closest you’ll get to Costa Rica’s wild side while guides share the stories behind their care. After lunch, choose your vibe: a guided ATV ride along ocean-view and jungle trails (fun, safe, seriously photogenic) or a shaded horseback ride on calm, well trained horses (comfortable for all levels), or a hands-on Cultural Tour.

Quick Planning Tips
- The Adventure Pass zipline includes flight + 30-ft free fall + hanging bridge, and ends at the Sanctuary… walk right in.
- Ask at check-in for today’s sloth feeding (9:30 / 12:30 / 3:30) and jaguar enrichment (Wed/Sun) times to target a session.
- If you’re booking ATV or Horseback, a 1:30 pm start leaves easy room for lunch after the Sanctuary.
- With little kids or mixed comfort levels, swap ATV for the Cultural Tour, you’ll still finish feeling like you did it all.
- Note: The Aerial Pass includes the flight + 30-ft free fall (no bridge).
