        Yeha right like contacting them is going to help, this is a country of thieves they steal all of the money so there is none left for repairs

    Costa Rica has had bad roads since the 1800′s, when the roads from the ports were purposely kept in bad shape to discourage pirates from landing and then managing to travel inland. The hope that the roads will somehow be improved doesn’t seem to be on a very firm premise.

    My family’s cars cost more than $2000 in Marchamos this year. Our street looks like it has been under sustained mortar attack for months on end. I don’t expect to see any of that asphalt.
