Deep within the mountains of Costa Rica’s South Pacific, in San Salvador de Barú, lies a natural treasure that still preserves the authentic essence of rural life: Diamond Valley. This magical corner blends lush green mountains, crystal-clear rivers, coffee plantations, and local communities that keep their traditions alive. But what truly makes this place shine is its imposing Diamante Waterfall—a natural spectacle that leaves visitors breathless.
The valley gets its name from the pure beauty of its surroundings. Surrounded by tropical forests and farmland, it offers spectacular panoramic views at every turn. It is the perfect destination for those seeking tranquility, contact with nature, and an authentic experience far from the more crowded tourist routes.
At the heart of the valley lies the Diamante Waterfall, one of the tallest in Costa Rica, with a drop of over 200 meters. Its power and grandeur make it one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the region. Watching the water cascade through the jungle and form natural pools at its base is an experience that connects directly with the greatness of nature.
The waterfall is not only a visual attraction; it also symbolizes the strength of the mountains and the natural richness safeguarded by San Salvador de Barú. Many visitors agree that it is one of the South Pacific’s best-kept secrets.
