A new police presence, located above the liquor store at the Banco de Costa Rica (BCR) and Doña Maria’s restaurant intersection in Uvita, was met with positive reviews as a continuation of the collective consciousness for “Pura Vida.” The expeditious rate of infrastructure expansion, residential growth and tourism progress has marked the impressive and contrasting frontiers of the south Pacific as a minted jewel now accessible for all travelers alike, and not only for the extreme adventure tourists or expats. The newly paved Costanera Sur that passes through the hot spot destinations of Jaco, Quepos and Dominical, leads 18 km all the more south to the genuine heart and authentic atmosphere of Uvita. With the geography traversed with jungle and namesake national park beaches such as Bahia and Ballena, it is no wonder why the density of traffic from weekend locals and tourists, or expat and Tico settlers, has steadily increased.

Dominical, Uvita and Ojochal are decapitated

Just shortly before high season is set to begin, the Southern Zone was pounded by a week of steady downpouring of rain that flooded homes, severed roadways and even claimed lives throughout the country.

The costanera highway that runs along the Pacific coast has been severely damaged and in some instances the roadway has all but been reduced to gapping hole dropping down to the sea below. As you can see from these photos taken from the Costanera Sur between Uvita and Ojochal. This is apparently the same for the other direction towards Manuel Antonio whereas they were forced to close the road connecting the park to Quepos over the mountainside for fear of another, more massive, landslide in to Quepos which has many people residing in the vicinity.
