Where adventure meets nature

Who we are

A park built around the land it sits on

Diamante Eco Adventure Park covers more than 100 acres of tropical dry forest on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste, 350 m east of the RIU Guanacaste hotel in Matapalo. It is a short drive from Playa Matapalo, Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco, and about 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport.

Most adventure parks are one thing: a canopy tour, or a zoo, or a farm. Diamante was designed as all three on the same property. You can fly a zipline over the canopy in the morning, watch rescued sloths at noon, make chocolate in a traditional farmhouse in the afternoon and end the day at the beach — without moving your car.

That mix is the reason guests rate the park #1 on TripAdvisor, and the reason families with very different ideas of a good holiday can spend the same day here.

Our people

Guides, biologists and a team from here

Almost everyone who works at Diamante lives in Guanacaste. Guides are bilingual and trained for every activity they lead; the wildlife team includes more than a dozen biologists and resident veterinarians who care for the animals in the sanctuary, run the breeding programs and answer guest questions every day.

Hospitality is treated as part of the product: clean facilities, staff who know the park, and food and drinks at three on-site outlets. If something is not right during your visit, tell any member of staff — they can reach a supervisor immediately.

Safety

Engineering you do not have to think about

The zipline is built and maintained to ACCT standards, with redundant cables, daily inspections and automatic braking on every line. Guides fit your gear, brief you before every course and ride with the group. Every guest signs a waiver before participating.

Adventure activities carry risk. We manage it with equipment, training and honest rules about who can take part — weight and age limits exist for your safety, not to spoil the day. Read the FAQs before you book if you are unsure whether an activity suits you.

Responsibility

What we do beyond the ticket desk

Diamante runs on solar power, recycles, reforests with native species and hires locally. The sanctuary takes in animals that cannot return to the wild, and the education team runs wildlife workshops in local schools. The full picture is on the sustainability page.
