The Tree of Life is located in the Chiripo region on the south west coast of Costa Rica, between the beach town of Dominical and San Isidro del General, a thriving agricultural town at the base of Mount Chiripo, the tallest mountain in Central America. Midway between the slopes of Mount Chiripo and the Pacific Ocean, an independent mountain range called Tinamaste, rises up to create the watershed for the pristine Baru River. This sparkling clean water gushes down over 12 waterfalls including Costa Rica's tallest, the 600 foot Diamante Falls, on its way to the sea.The valley carved out by the Baru River is one of Costa Rica's most scenic areas with dramatic views of the ocean, and fertile farmlands.

The Tree of Life lands stretch over seven parcels of land from the pacific coast to the 3,300 foot summit of the Tinamaste Mountains. Guided adventure tours, hiking, rappelling and catered overnights are available in the Diamonte Sanctuary and at the Baru Falls Farm.

The Chiripo sector of Costa Rica has some of the most diverse terrain as the elevation rises up from the pacific ocean to the slopes of the 12,800 foot Mount Chiripo. Within this rugged landscape are ancient growth jungles, wooded forests, grasslands and pastures.

The Chiripo sector of Costa Rica has a relatively predictable climate with three main seasons, although the seasons tend to shift around the calendar by up to a couple of months each year.

Summer - December through March is the dry season and temperatures range from highs in the 90's by the ocean and in the 60's further inland on the foothills of Mount Chiripo. Night time temps range between 60's on the beach and the 40's further inland.

Fall - April through August this area receives modest amounts of rainfall and temperatures vary accordingly.

Spring- September to December is the wet season with regular heavy afternoon downpours.
