If you want to see crocodiles in Costa Rica, then you have to stop at the crocodile bridge of the Tarcoles River. This river is one of the most well known in the country largely because of the crocodiles. It’s a popular tourist stop for those heading to Jaco, Manuel Antonio and the South Pacific. The crocodile bridge in Costa Rica is a great stop to stretch your legs. It’s such a popular stop that there are souvenir stores, restaurants, ice cream shops and bathrooms right at the bridge.

If you’re driving, you can park on either side, there are spaces to park in front of the shops or restaurants.

If you want to get some food, use the bathroom or get a coffee, we recommend to visit the restaurant near the Crocodile Bridge called Hacienda NOSAVAR (Restaurant Nambi). It’s actually owned by the Doka Coffee Estate and they offer really good coffee and food.
