TRANSCRIPT
Hey guys, today we are the Diamante Eco Adventure Park in Gulf of Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I am with Julian, who is one of the owners of the park and he's going to share us some more information about it.
So Julian first, thank you so much for having us. Can you share with us more about Diamante and the kind of activities there are to do here?
OK well I think you did the Adventure Pass today right? Yes! Did you have fun? Yes, loved it. OK well the reason why the reason the Adventure Pass is our most widely used pass is that you do everything in the park for one price. And you start off with our zipline which is really amazing. It's five lines but you get the most ride time in the entire country. The reason why people really love our lines is that in most traditional ziplines, you have to put your hand on the line to slow yourself down or even stop but at Diamante all of our lines are completely automatic braking so it allows you to sit back and really have a good time and experience some amazing views that we have around the park.
Our biggest line is one of the top five in the world, you fly for almost a mile in a superman style and it's absolutely one of the best ziplines you'll do in your life.
We did the zipline and I can definitely attest to that, it was amazing. So what other activities are in the Adventure Pass?
So when you finish the Adventure Pass on our zipline, you end up in our animal sanctuary and it's the largest animal sanctuary in the country. All the animals in there have been donated to us from MINAE, which is the Costa Rican equivalent to our wildlife organization and we have everything from jaguars to pumas, ocelots, margays, a lot of cats, also crocodiles and we have even have an incredible butterfly sanctuary. I didn't think I would ever say incredible butterfly sanctuary but it's really cool to walk through and see all the different butterflies, it's a really serene setting.
And tell me more about Lucy. Lucy, our number one most requested person to see here is Lucy the sloth and she's in an outdoor area and you can cruise by. We have certain feeding times that are promoted throughout the day so you can really get an upclose viewing of Lucy while she has her breakfast or lunch and there's plenty of time to see here because she moves really slow and eats even slower.
Alright so after the animal sanctuary, there's a couple of other activities in the Adventure pass correct? Yes, once you finish the sanctuary, you can head down to the beach. We're the only ocean front adventure park in the country so you can walk down to the beach and you can enjoy stand up paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling, whatever you want to do on the ocean side, you can do it there. There's hammocks there if you want to take a nap, if you're too tired from all the other fun you have. You can also walk through our botanical garden and you can end up in our ocean view welcome center which has an amazing buffet every day.
Thank you so much Julian for sharing this information, you guys have to come in and enjoy the superman zipline, it's incredible. Not only are the views amazing but I also felt incredibly safe, what's really special is that the harnesses are really comfortable and the wires are carbon fiber so it's so quiet and you can enjoy the ocean view the entire time.
I hope you guys enjoy the video, please click on the links below to learn more and hope to see you guys here one day!
