[quote=”bogino”][quote=”Scott”]Announced on the 29th May 2012, a Spanish firm has been given the US$1 million contract to do an environmental study with regards to the new airport.
You can see the El Financiero article in Spanish [url=http://www.elfinancierocr.com/ef_archivo/2012/junio/03/economia3192203.html]about this here[/url].

$1MM for an environmental study?? I could do that for a LOT less and a LOT faster! Matter of fact—wouldn’t take me more than 5 minutes…..[/quote]
Having done several environmental “studies” it is readily apparent (to me) that an invasive commercial activity in an environmentally sensitive area in a country promoting eco-tourism would be difficult to mitigate, approve, and build, and operate. A 5 minute study results only in a “No” answer. And $1MM is peanuts for an airport study.
[quote=”cmcintire”][quote=”bogino”]After about a dozen trips to CR I finally made my first visit to The Osa 2 years ago followed by another one last year. I’ve now been to all 4 corners of CR and lots of in the middle and I can say without a doubt that The Osa has been the most beautiful. pristine region by far that I have visited and [b]I HOPE[/b] it [b]STAYS[/b] that way. There is no need to turn that region into another Tamarindo type area.[/quote
Bogino, I could not agree with you more. The OSA is one of the most beautiful places in the world. One of the reasons we bought property in the southern zone was the close proximity the Osa. It would be a travesty if an airport was ever built in that area. The new road has done enough to make it accessible.[/quote]
I agree, the Osa is beautiful! But the paved road is already messing things up! I have a house in Dos Brazos on the border of Corcovado and this year the Cabina prices and the food prices in Puerto Jimenez are way up! Progress changes everything!
