The Tárcoles River, also called the Grande de Tárcoles River or the Río Grande de Tarcoles, in Costa Rica originates on the southern slopes of the Cordillera Central volcanic range and flows in a south-westerly direction to the Gulf of Nicoya.
The Tarcoles River is a famous river in Costa Rica because as you drive over the Tarcoles Bridge, you can look down and see at least a dozen impressive crocodiles sunbathing below. The river is situated running toward the Pacific coast. It spans 111 kilometers before reaching the final destination.
The Tarcoles River is teaming with Crocodiles some reaching sizes of three to four meters long or (12 feet). These beasts are not to be messed with! But visiting the bridge is a great way to see them safely.

The guides at the zipline were very helpful and fun. We had a nice snack and something to drink at their snack bar. The tour guide for the bus ride was very informative and seemed couteous of the potential physical limitations of some who were on the tour.

Zipline was top notch. Team of guides performed flawlessly. Friendly and safe. Crocodile viewing was a bit dated. The loading pier seemed kind of rickety. We did see huge crocodiles, did not disappoint.

We had great fun. It was hard work, and we ached the next day but we saw the jungle from a different angle. The tour people forgot to drop us off so we were late arriving which meant the staff rushed us through the lines…but.. there were lots of staff, they were great fun and we enjoyed ourselves.
