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.

"The condo is very cozzy and clean, and well equipped. The water from the pool is warm :). Liked the quietness of the place and the direct access to the beach. It is in front of a nice surfing spot and of an area where the sand has few to no rocks. Friendly staff. I would stay again!"

"We loved staying in this Condo. It had recently been updated. It had a beautiful pool in the side yard and we saw McCaws and Tuscans both. It was centrally located and Melissa was so attentive to our needs. "
