Landslides block roads and hit farms in Costa Rica

Monday, May 29, 2017


Heavy rains affecting various regions of Costa Rica since last Wednesday have resulted in landslides in the province of Guanacaste. Debris from the landslides blocked roads and caused losses at several farms.

The passage over Costa Rica of a tropical wave that entered from the Caribbean prompted an increase in rains in the past two days.

Meteorologists expected the influence of the tropical wave to decrease over the weekend.
