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=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![View from the crocodile bridge](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/829082213560623104/cd7f45ad-7374-4910-b571-410f91c1eb99.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Trail hunting ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635810232025/0a8d4c3e-928f-47ad-907b-eaeb25ee2100.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ### Popular cities in Cantón Turrubares [Carara ](https://expedia.com/Carara.dx553248635810232025) Check out Rainforest Adventures Jaco and Carara National Park—just a couple of the sights around Carara.
