Cocodrilario at Playa Linda - closed

I think we must be referring to something different.

What I am referring to is a mirador right next to the stores and next to where the taxis make sitio. It has a wooden platform that lets visitors see without disturbances the trees, birds, crocodiles and turtles below. It is similar to the one on Km 7 of the ciclopista inside the Reserva.

Thank you, Rob.

We are referring to the same thing. Even though it's basically just a wooden platform and a chain link fence, it's called a Cocodrilario, but it never had the federal authorization it needed to be a legal venture. It was simply a local whim allowed to decay into ruin. The wooden platform has been dangerously deteriorated for quite some time. It should never have been built nor the fencing put up to keep the crocs from wandering freely. People have been tossing trash into it and throwing rocks at the crocs since it was built and they were fenced in. Since it isn't made of cement and the mangroves can't legally be cut down, the current local government apparently has no interest in it. Okay, that last sentence may be a slightly cynical exaggeration. ;-)
