Las Juntas
This little town is a typical large village in Costa Rica. There is a Monteverde connection in that many of the original farmers in Santa Elena came from the gold mines of Las Juntas. Costa Rica had a gold rush similar to our own. The rough and tumble town was a bit too much for many folks so they moved to the quiet mountains of Monteverde.
Notice how all the vehicles are 4x4. Folks mostly walk, horseback, tico ox cart, or bikes, dirt bikes....the family 'car' might be an ATV. Also notice how the people cage themselves in for safety against the occasional riot. Yikes!
Sorry these are out of chronological order. We had to go through Las Juntas to get to and from the Playa Samara.
