Hola,A major section of new Escazú to Caldera highway (27) from Atenas to Orotina is closed indefinitely following a series of landslides that caused at least seven serious injuries and one death.You cannot travel from San José to the coast on highway 27. Traffic is being redirected to the Aguacate highway (3) for the southern beach destinations of Jacó, Manuel Antonio and Dominical or the PanAmerican highway (1) for the beaches around Puntarenas or on the Nicoya Peninsula and Guanacaste.Work has begun to shore up the hillsides that were excavated during construction to prevent future slides and rockfalls. Optimistic estimates by the construction company predict two to three months before reopening and we'd expect that every effort will be made to re-open this shortcut to the Pacific beaches before the main tourism season in December.If you're traveling in the next couple of months and have questions about how this may affect your plans please reply to this message orcontact us.

- Major bummer as this is the quickest route to 90% of my favorite Costa Rican destinations. I have no idea what this even means, but indefinitely seems substantial in the time bucket. I know this has little to do with either Social Media or entertainment, but its' all I got right now.
