Views from the bridge of Costa Rica’s largest crocodiles
Carara Nationalpark, Costa Rica
From Crocodile Bridge you marvel at dozens of American crocodiles on the riverbank and experience respectful wildlife watching.
What you can experience here
You stand on Crocodile Bridge, surrounded by the sound of the river and the view over the Río Tárcoles. Here you step into a world where dozens of American crocodiles bask in the sun. The bridge lies directly on the main route between San José and the Pacific and is one of the most exciting places for wildlife watching in Costa Rica.
In the morning and late afternoon you have the best chance of seeing the enormous American crocodiles from a safe distance. During the dry season they often lie motionless on the bank. You watch them comfortably from the pavement on the bridge, always with respect and distance – feeding is strictly forbidden and you must stay away from the riverbank to protect both people and animals. Binoculars or a camera let you pick out fascinating details even from afar.
