Jungle Crocodile Safari Tour Daily Tours - San Jose Costa Rica

Know and explore a unique tourist destination in Costa Rica located two hours from San Jose. The Big River of Tárcoles, one of the four rivers that ends in the Gulf of Nicoya on the Pacific Ocean, offers the visitor the opportunity to observe American Crocodiles (Crocodylae, C.acutus), with sizes over the four meters long, iguanas (Iguanae, Iguana) and basilisks (Basilisks sp.) in their natural environment, in addition to more than a hundred twenty different species of birds, resident and migratory, terrestrial and coastal.
Our tours specially designed for the whole family, as well as for observers of bird groups, adventures and naturalists. Specialized bilingual guides accompany the group offering wide educational information on the biology of the crocodiles and diverse aspects of the ecology of this wonderful natural refuge. During the journey, we enter the Channel of Guacalillo, an estuary where there are four different species of mangrove. We give a bottle of water and an informative full-colored pamphlet of the 56 birds that may be spotted more frequently to our visitors, as a courtesy.

The tourists will be accompanied by a bilingual guide and an experienced wrangler who will offer the necessary information to mount our docile horses. Bottled water will be available.
