Well, we must have docked in Puerto Calderas I think, not for from the Tarcoles River where we headed to in a car we sorted privately, inclusive of a driver...…..maybe even a bit of a tour guide! The Tarcoles River bridge is a famous viewing point for Costa Rican Crocodiles that seem to gather in rather large numbers there. We missed the rain at the bridge but the water was pretty stirred up from wet season rains so possibly the croc numbers were down a bit. Still plenty there and quite unusual to see really, even for Australians.
At some point before, although I think after, we visited some local mammals at a feeding point and then we investigated a waterfall, scenic beauty spot - but it absolutely bucketed down. The Capuchins were cool and Coatis were unexpected, I can remember my main worry was a Capuchin bite or scratch but all very cute. Unfortunately that part of Costa Rica, particularly with that amount of rain, does not capture some of the famous tropical beauty that Costa Rica is becoming increasingly famous for.
