The Tarcoles River boasts one of the highest crocodile populations worldwide, making it an intriguing location for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. This image encapsulates the harmonious coexistence of diverse species within their natural habitat, showcasing nature's remarkable balance.

The butterfly's flight symbolizes freedom and grace while navigating perilous waters, highlighting its resilience in such an unforgiving environment. Juan Carlos Ulate skillfully captures this fleeting encounter, freezing time to immortalize this extraordinary scene forever.
