Travel Guide

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.

Check-in it’s way too late, and check-out way too early how can a check-in at 4pm and a check-out at 10am be normal or even welcoming to guests? They crossed the line with those times, it didn’t make me feel welcome or respected and as if my money isn’t worth it, feels like they want you there the ...
