Cocodrilario La Manzanilla — Attraction in Jalisco

Please do NOT visit until they eliminate the two exhibits with abhorrent conditions! Two concrete cages, with two crocs each in them, were tiny (10x20ft max) with low, filthy water that left the crocs exposed and in physical/heat distress, zero enrichment, natural habitat, or ability to display natural behavior. The photo I've included shows the majority of the one pen, with both crocs too hot. They don't need these four crocs penned up to guarantee a sighting. There are plenty in...

If you are near La Manzanilla you have to check this place out, large crocs in their natural habitat...a big mangrove lagoon/swamp. The suspended walkway is 720 m long and goes around thru the mangroves plus there's a neat monkey bridge walkway over the lagoon. You can get within 3-4' of these monsters and get to hold a baby croc at the end of the walk at the breeding pens. It takes about 25 mins to walk around at a leisurely pace and only costs 30 pesos. Well...

For the first time in my life I saw a real crocodiles, it only costs 2 USD, inside there's a museum and you can take a picture with baby crocodiles if you want. Take care of your children, there isn't surveillance across the board, do not take unnecessary risks by feeding or trying to get best picture of reptilian animals, it can be dangerous if you fall into the water. Don't forget to take a picture in the beginning of town haha, it seems...
