This place is an amazing natural habitat located in the middle of a major tourist area. It’s definitely well worth a visit if you’re ever in Puerto Vallarta. During the tour we had an excellent explanation of the flora and fauna. During the boat tour down the river we saw serval small crocodiles, cranes and many tree crabs ????. Please visit and support Estero El Salado.

An hour and thirty minutes long your with 15 other people through a Mangrove swamp. Saw maybe 5 birds and 3-4 baby Crocs. Stopped at an observation tower to see a few vultures. I expected alot more so only 3 stars.

Our guide spoke English and Spanish, and clearly knew her stuff. What a wonderful time looking for and touching the crocodiles. We really enjoyed everything here.

This place is a must see. This place will give you an appreciation for the amazing creatures that are crocodiles and the importance of nature. I highly recommend seeing this place. To find the place, google maps estero el Salado and it will focus on this small reserve. The entrance is right next to the main road. Don't use the address they provide. Basically drive by the fenced area and you will see an opening to turn in.

It is a natural place. Guides do not control the size or the amount of cocodriles you will be able to see. (don't be ridiculous).

The work done here is amazing. It is a unique experience as well.

The last surviving mangrove swamp in Puerto Vallarta. Currently protected from development. Hopefully it can be kept that way
