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.

"Excellent area, and offers bike trails and hiking trails, nice pool "

"We paid months ahead as with many other accommodations, which we've never had any issues with. This place was hard to find so we called to clarify directions, and we were told if we didn't have a 4x4 that it wasn't possible to get to (which was NOT mentioned on the booking site on Expedia) We were left to scramble and find a place to stay last minute which was inconvenient and cost a lot more. We were also informed we would be given the money back but months later we still haven't seen it. "

"The house is all you can expect and gives more than you need. A great place to spend your first days in Costa Rica, before we start to travel the country. Great and fast communication with the owner and staff. Very helpful with every question we had. We are happy that we can end our holiday at this location as well."

"We had a nice time. Key takeaways: this location would be best in the dry season. No heating or cooling and no screens on windows. Fireplace is extremely smoky, you will smell like you were camping. The wood is also very damp and hard to light and keep going. Very friendly staff. Grounds are beautiful when the sun is out. No real hot water, we had to heat water on the stove since the hot water was only a few degrees warmer than the cold. Bed was very comfortable and had a fluffy blanket on it...

"El lugar estaba abandonado, no se limpia , en el cuarto de baño había panes de jabón viejo en el piso y del tubo de lavareis el agua salía con tierra , signo de que nunca lonhan usado para lavar el baño. Estaba lleno de telarañas y había cucarachas . NO dormimos en toda la noche , pues la sábanas olían a polvo , en fin fue una experiencia memorablemente trágica,"

"Le ménage n était pas fait, le plancher collait, l evier de sdb avait encore du dentifrice sec, tous les équipements de cuisine étaient sales. Les 100 chiens du voisinage aboient et hurle toute la nuit. Le lit double à ressorts était terrible. Les draps étaient propres, la communication était efficace, l emplacement était parfait."

"No hubo forma de localizar al host, me hicieron la devolución después de abrir 3 casos y casi 60 minutos de llamadas telefónicas, las cuales muy probablemente me van a salir más costosas que la reservación Si alguien revisa este comentario, verifiquen en el último caso Vrbo 34249335"
