Ahah!
Playa Zancudo is another one of these nice places! It would be very easy just to live down there and forget about the real world
Totally laid back place - we fly down there fairly often then take a boat up the gulf - some of the places are only accessible from the gulf and no roads into em.
Yep.. could be Golfito airstrip - are there hills on the right of that pic? Golfito is the place where the aircraft needs to do some manoevering to get in line with the runway and avoid the hills.
Looks like the postion your pic was shot at was the turning/parking area for aircraft? Here's a pic (tho useless as ID of the location) of Golfito parking area where the foreground prob is on your image...
There is a new marina under construction now at Golfito involving a lot of cash - so that's prob the start of further development in that area. There is also a new international airport due to be constructed about 40-50 mins away (bigger than the airport in San Jose) - but hell knows where the passengers are supposed to stay. The airport is designed to handle the new Airbus 380 with 700 ish passengers - Sierpe Llodge has 12 rooms and no intention of expanding
There is a lot of opposition to having more tourists down in Osa.
