Travel Guide

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.
