Find out about the requirements for participating in their volunteer programs–you could become a watchdog for these magnificent reptiles. ❖ Cocodrilario The Crocodile Preserve is part of the Centro Ecoturístico La Ventanilla (La Ventanilla Ecotourism Center), and is staffed by the community members.
