Parth in Tarcoles River Boat Ride with Crocodile Man Jason Varga

Me doing a crocodile safari on a boat ride in Tarcoles River in Costa Rica. Tarcoles river is the third most crocodile infested river in the world where one can find 20-25 crocodiles per square km. Jason Varga is a localite who works with crocodiles from last 10 years and he has given all crocodiles a different name like Osama, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Saddam Hussein, Monika Lewinski etc. In this boat ride, he finds a 6 feet long crocodile named Osama and feeds him getting in the muddy shore of Tarcoles River. He had a 5 minute long encounter with the same croc 3 years back where he was bitten in the groin by this crocodile. He conducts this tour known as crocodile man tour, 5 tours everyday 6 days a week from last 7 years. Refused a job offered a job by Dicovery Channel and Animal Planet, Mr. Varga wants to live in the area and work to conserve Tarcoles River which is the most contaminated river in Latin America as well as help the University of Costa Rica and other institutes in conducting research on Crocodiles. Very dedicated and brave man.

It is well known among the LOCALS here that his business is doing nothing more than EXPLOITING these crocs for the purposes of making money.

He operates under the guise of "conservation", but the only thing he is conserving is his bank account.

Biologist agree that FEEDING wild crocs disrupts the natural order and also teaches the crocs to associate humans with food. 

Conservation is a good thing... don't use it to justify a blatant money-making scheme.

Dont hate, I speak the truth
