Description

Experience Costa Rica’s Wildlife at Diamante's Animal Sanctuary: Rescue Animals in Natural Habitats

Diamante’s Animal Sanctuary offers an immersive experience into Costa Rica’s unique wildlife, featuring rescued animals from across the country. Set within Guanacaste’s stunning landscapes, this sanctuary provides guests a rare chance to get close to species like sloths, jaguars, and toucans, all under expert care in spacious, natural enclosures.

With the largest variety of species in one location, the sanctuary is a partnership project with La Paz Waterfall Gardens and MINAE, Costa Rica’s Wildlife Ministry. This collaboration supports conservation efforts, as all animals in the sanctuary were rescued from difficult conditions and are not bred or traded for profit, but protected and rehabilitated.

Visitors can enjoy up-close views of fascinating animals, learn about their stories, and even attend feeding sessions to witness their behaviors. Diamante’s commitment to wildlife welfare shines through every detail, with safe, comfortable habitats tailored to the animals’ needs, from lush rainforest trees to open areas for active species.

Beyond the animals, Diamante boasts a world-class butterfly observatory that showcases Costa Rica’s vibrant butterfly species. Wander through this delicate space, watching butterflies flutter among native plants while expert guides share insights into their lifecycle and ecological importance.

The experience extends to Costa Rica’s rich cultural heritage at the Traditional House, nestled within the Botanical Garden. This replica farmhouse, surrounded by fruit trees and flowers, brings traditional practices to life, offering hands-on experiences with coffee, chocolate, and sugar cane processing.
