Tarcoles River
More than 2,000 American crocodiles swim in the murky waters of the Tarcoles River making it one of the most dangerous (and exciting) rivers in all of Costa Rica. Safari boats tours leave from the river's delta, between the Pacific Ocean and the northern border of Carara National park, to show off the scaled-monsters, pulling alongside the river giants and feeding them. The river is so laden with crocs that there are 63 per square mile on average.
