Welcome to Rio Tarcoles, where tourists stop to view these ancient dinosaurs.
I've heard a few stories about this place, one being that locals sometimes toss live chickens off the bridge to put on a "show". I also read somewhere that a drunk man was bet $20 to swim across the river...and he did, but didn't quite make it.
If you are at all amazed by crocodiles, this place is crazy cool. I've been here a couple of times and still get excited by the number of crocs there are. Once in awhile you'll see a stork slowly walk up to a croc, almost as if he's doing a dare, and the croc will slowly swim towards him. You get your camera ready waiting for something to go down. The stork usually smartens up and flys off though.

"El personal super amable, lugar muy lindo, apartamento comodo y muy bonito, bien equipado y en ina linda zona, zonas verdes bien cuidadas, lindas piscinas, areas exteriores para estar muy comodas lindas y bien equipadas. Puntos de mejora hacer acceso a la playa, la vista al mar es limitada solo una ventana frente el asesor, seria bueno hacer una area para estar y poder disfrutar la vista al mar en la azotea, ya que por la altura del edificio tiene que tener una vista espectacular"
