Ponderosa Adventure Park

In the heart of Guanacaste, surrounded by tropical landscapes and the warm Pacific sun, a unique destination was born: Ponderosa Adventure Park. What once began as a traditional cattle ranch slowly transformed into a sanctuary of adventure, nature, and wildlife, offering visitors unforgettable experiences.

Driven by a passion to create a place where families and travelers could connect with nature and live authentic adventures, its founders introduced exotic animals from around the world: giraffes, zebras, antelopes, camels, and more. This vision turned Ponderosa into Costa Rica’s most famous safari.

Today, the park combines the best of African wildlife with Costa Rican essence. Here, you can feed and interact with giraffes, explore vibrant trails, swim in refreshing waterfalls, and enjoy thrilling activities like kayaking, horseback riding, or zip-lining.

More than just a park, Ponderosa is a living story, where every visitor becomes the main character of an adventure that blends culture, nature, and fun into one extraordinary destination.
