Costa Rica Transportation Profile 2012
As in much of Central America, transportation is poorly developed. Railways serve primarily the main ports, the banana-growing areas, and the capital. Few of the roads other than those linking the major cities are paved. The Pan American Highway crosses the nation along the Pacific coast, linking Costa Rica with Nicaragua and Panama. The chief ports are Puerto Limón, on the Caribbean, and Puntarenas and Caldera, on the Pacific. San José's airport is the nation's largest.
