Costa Rica is more than a destination — it’s an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to explore deeper, to feel the sun on your skin and the forest around you. Whether it’s the call of the rainforest, the rhythm of the ocean, or a close encounter with wildlife, this vibrant country has a way of staying with you long after you leave.

As local experts in adventure and eco-tourism, we at Diamante Eco Adventure Park are proud to be part of your experience. To help you get the most out of your trip, we’ve put together our top tips for visiting Costa Rica — with a few exclusive insights for making your day at Diamante truly unforgettable.

1. Know When to Go — But Come Anytime

Costa Rica’s weather is defined by two seasons: the dry season (December–April), perfect for beach days and sunny skies, and the green season (May–November), when the landscape comes alive in rich shades of green, wildlife is more active, and the crowds are fewer.

💡 Insider Tip: We’re open every single day of the year! A little rain only adds to the adventure — especially when you’re zip lining through the mist or hearing nature during a walk through our sanctuary.

2. Pack Smart, Pack Right

Here, comfort is key. Opt for breathable, lightweight clothing, closed-toe shoes, sunblock, and a reusable water bottle. A swimsuit is essential — you never know when a waterfall, hot spring, or the beach will call your name. Don’t forget insect repellent if you’re headed into the forest.

💡 Insider Tip: For our Superman Zip Line — the longest in Costa Rica — closed-toe shoes are required. Come ready to fly, explore, and enjoy comfortably.

3. Choose Experiences That Give Back

Costa Rica leads by example in sustainable travel. Responsible tourism isn’t optional — it’s part of the culture. Look for activities that support conservation, respect local communities, and protect the environment.

💡 Insider Tip: Our Animal Sanctuary, the largest in the region, is home to rescued species that cannot return to the wild. Under the guidance of MINAE, we provide lifelong care — and a meaningful way for guests to connect, learn, and support wildlife conservation.

4. Balance Adventure with Tranquility

Costa Rica offers the perfect mix of excitement and peace. Zip lining through the canopy, riding an ATV through rugged terrain, or relaxing on the beach… There’s something for every kind of traveler.

💡 Insider Tip: At Diamante, adrenaline and calm live side by side. Soar above the trees with ocean views, walk among native plants and animals, or unwind by the sea after a day of exploration.

🍽️ 5. Taste the Real Costa Rica

Costa Rican food is fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. From gallo pinto and tropical fruits to hearty casados with local fish or chicken, you’ll quickly fall in love with the country’s simplicity.

💡 Insider Tip: Join our Cultural Tour to visit the Casita Típica and meet our farm animals while learning about coffee, sugarcane, and cacao production — a delicious and enriching part of the experience.

🚐 6. Plan Ahead — But Stay Flexible

Costa Rica is perfect for both free spirits and planners. Renting a car gives you freedom to explore, while private transfers and guided tours help you relax and focus on the experience.

💡 Insider Tip: We offer convenient transportation from many hotels across Guanacaste. Want to include Diamante in your travel plans? Just contact us — we’re happy to help you coordinate.

7. Capture the Moment — Then Be in It

Yes, you’ll want to photograph every view, animal, and adventure — but don’t forget to put your camera down and truly take it all in. Costa Rica is best experienced with all your senses.

💡 Insider Tip: Our professional photographers are positioned throughout the zip line tour, so you can live the moment while we capture the memories for you.

8. Travel with Curiosity and Respect

Costa Rica is home to rich biodiversity, strong traditions, and warm communities. Learn a few local phrases, support local businesses, and engage with the people and environment around you.

💡 Insider Tip: Our team loves sharing stories of Costa Rica’s culture, wildlife, and ecosystems. Whether this is your first visit or your fifth, there’s always something new to learn and explore.

No matter how much you plan, Costa Rica always finds a way to surprise you. From unexpected wildlife sightings to unforgettable conversations with locals, every day brings a new kind of magic.

At Diamante Eco Adventure Park, we’re honored to be part of that magic. Whether you’re here for the adrenaline, the connection with nature, or a bit of both — your experience will be one to remember.
