Discover the Tarcoles River

Flowing into the Pacific just north of Jaco, the Tarcoles River is one of Costa Rica’s most famous wildlife habitats. Known for its large population of American crocodiles, this river is also a haven for birdwatchers, with herons, egrets, macaws, and kingfishers often spotted along the banks. A calm boat ride is the perfect way to see it all, and makes for a memorable highlight of any Costa Rica family vacation.
