Tomorrow (Tuesday), as well as Thursday and Saturday and Sunday, Ruta 32, the San José - Limón highway, will be closed mornings from 5:30am to 11am. The temporary closure of the highway is to allow a group of experts from Spain to inspect eight critical points along the route that are prone to landslides. The study, using satellite positioning and special scanning equipment is to avoid further landslides and rock falls along the highway. |

Caldera

perhaps
a

move
on
the
part

are
now
to
do,
go
back
to
the
old
road,
the
monte

stay
home
until
they
re-open
ruta
27
completely. |
