Work on Discovery Costa Rica begins in 2018

Leaders of government, business and diplomacy met at the Costa Rica’s National Theater Tuesday to provide details about the massive new adventure park that Discovery will open in the province of Guanacaste in 2020. Officials responded at the press conference to environmental concerns about the project, which will include manmade water attractions in a region of the country heavily affected by droughts and water rationing.

Construction on the park, first announced by President Luis Guillermo Solís earlier in the week, will begin next year with an initial investment of $400 million.
