The Caiman of Tárcoles, Costa Rica

The river's upper reaches form the northern border of the Carara National Park. It is a habitat for Caimen (a.k.a. American Crocodile). Many of which grow to be 6 feet in length!

Our view was safely from the bridge. The guidebooks warn you NOT to stop and look because of the scam artists that try to steal your rental - but we stopped anyway. Glad we did. There were atleast 20 of these guys in close proximity. It's a must see if you are ever in the area.
