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. #riotarcoles #tarcoles #costarica #crocs #river #centralamerica ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/829082213560623104/fffa8271-9c64-4e43-8d04-f98e50b0c8e0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### San Luis ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Carara worth visiting? ### How do I spend a day in Carara? ### What is the top tourist attraction in Carara? ### Is three days enough to stay in Carara? ### What are some activities to do in Carara with kids? > - [Tortuga Island Tour with Costa Cat](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/tortuga-island-tour-with-costa-cat.a2247177.activity-details) > - [Monkey Tour With Local Cuisine](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/monkey-tour-with-local-cuisine.a2580302.activity-details) > - [3-Hour ATV Jungle Waterfall Adventure](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/3-hour-atv-jungle-waterfall-adventure.a1346854.activity-details) > - [Monkey, Crocodile, Sloths & Beach Experience](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/monkey-crocodile-sloths-beach-experience.a47307230.activity-details) > - [The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/the-kings-full-day-atv-adventure-rainforest-waterfalls-villages-rivers.a2305662.activity-details) ### What to do in Carara for adults? ### Are there free things to do in Carara? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Lodging - Flights - Packages - Cars - Vacation Rentals - Other - [Cabin Rentals in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Turrubares-Cabins.d6298492-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Gay friendly Hotels in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Canton-Turrubares-LGBT-Welcoming-Hotel.0-0-d6298492-tLGBTWelcomingHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) - [Cottages in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Turrubares-Cottages.d6298492-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [B&B in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Turrubares-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6298492-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Cabin Rentals in Montelimar ](https://www.expedia.com/Montelimar-Cabins.d6229351-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Hostels in Montelimar ](https://www.expedia.com/Montelimar-Hostels.d6229351-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Montelimar Hotels ](https://www.expedia.com/Montelimar-Hotels.d6229351.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Lodges in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Turrubares-Lodges.d6298492-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Hostels in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Turrubares-Hostels.d6298492-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Cantón Turrubares Hotels ](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Canton-Turrubares.d6298492.Hotel-Destinations) - [Flights from Montelimar ](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/6229351/flights-from-montelimar) - [Flights to Montelimar ](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Montelimar.d6229351.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights to Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Canton-Turrubares.d6298492.Flight-Destinations) - [Visit Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Turrubares.dx6298492) - [Visit Montelimar ](https://www.expedia.com/Montelimar.dx6229351) - [Montelimar Vacations ](https://www.expedia.com/Montelimar.d6229351.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Montelimar ](https://www.expedia.com/Car-Rentals-In-Montelimar.d6229351.Car-Rental-Guide) - [Cantón Turrubares Vacation Rentals ](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Canton-Turrubares.d6298492.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Cantón Turrubares ](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Canton-Turrubares.d6298492.Travel-Guide-Activities) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save even more - get up to 20% on select hotels when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
