These were found near the river at Gavilan Lodge, Otter?

Andy,
Could it be a Tayra? They are roughly the same size as the river Otters and are a member of the Weasel family I think.

Suppose it's possible Bryan, I was making assumptions I guess as it was pretty close to the waters edge.

Andy,
The ones I've encountered seem pretty opportunistic. I have seen them way high up in the trees but also foraging around river edges
Having said that it still could be a Neotropical Otter, the Tayra are more common though. Maybe someone more familiar with the mammal species in the region could help out here.

Thanks Bryan,
hadn't considered it before but does seem a likely option
