San Jose, Costa Rica

The New Highway from San Jose to the Coast is now open.

This is a dream highway in every respect for Costa Rica which was completed in 2010.  It ranks as one of the best stretch of highways in all of Costa Rica. When it was completed it eliminated that awful and tedious drive through the mountains. This is just a fantastic drive with no hair pin curves, no one lane bridges and no towns to go through.  It’s just a straight shot to the beach with exits along the way.  We  shot some photos starting in Escazu with intermittent shots along the way to the Orotina exit.

The drive to Jaco from San Jose is now about 1 hour, and another 15 mins to the Las Olas site. 

This new access to the Central Pacific beaches and other parts of the country has led to huge growth and an increase in demand and land values, especially beach properties along this stretch.   The Central Pacific Coast is very attractive for upscale Costa Ricans and others who love to go to the beach every chance they get.  You can now get to the Pacific coast in the time it normally takes to get from San Jose to Heredia in rush hour.

So, this new highway has down tremendous things for the country’s growth and land values along the central pacific coast.
