Rio Tarcoles is home to the American crocodile, many species of birds, herons, egrets and iguanas.

A little before the park, coming from Orotina, flows the Tárcoles River. This river, one of the largest in the country, receives the wastewater of more than 2.5 million Costa Ricans. It is therefore the most polluted river in the country (and among the most contaminated in South America). For this reason, more than 200 crocodiles have taken up residence here, not bothered by the surrounding dirt. You can easily observe them from the bridge that spans the river. The Tárcoles River is also home to many species of birds (50 species live at its mouth alone).

Garez vous près du pont de Tarcoles pour observer les crocodiles dans le Rio, il y en a toujours. Ne vous faites pas avoir par certains locaux qui enfilent un gilet jaune et vous réclame de l’argent pour se garer et garder un œil sur la voiture... Refusez poliment et profiter du point de vue !

Point de vue sur les crocodiles, depuis le pont qui traverse le río.
Il suffit de se garer au bout du pont et rejoindre le pont à pied pour observer les crocodiles.
