Let's save Puerto Viejo Costa Rica

[vavavera1]

What it ultimately comes down to is what the Bri-Bri's decide.  They are the indigenous. And BTW, I was a drug doing prostitute. RESPECT. jah bless.

[raspigo]

a marina aint gonna change shit,not a solution,is just gonna make worst ina long term,watch it happening!is gonna destroy the ecosystem waves and the people more than you think,economy sucks and politicians too, anyways the rich is just getting richer,and the poor is in suffering under their comand!there is many ways to get ahead!you can make it puerto viejo

[danythe1]

so, what happened. did the marina builded some? im about to visit that place, and i would not like to see that happened with this beauty

[javirebu]

Acabo de volver de Puerto Viejo y aun no se ha empezado la marina... y estoy completamente de acuerdo. NO AL PUERTO DEPORTIVO, NO A LA MARINA.

Puerto Viejo perderia todo su encanto....

[gypsykingg]

That was such a fun town. lots of weed coke and great beer

[alvaronred19]

Es increible esto no se puede permitir..esto es un suicidio ecologico..osea un Geocidio o Ecocidio..me parece un ecosistema muy especial para hacer esa semejante barrabasada..!!! : ( En verdad frustrante..

[LELSHAWARBY1]

Sad to hear that:0(

Lol building a marina in Playa Negra wouldn't ruin the surf..... Playa Negra is the last place I surf in this area.... There's like 5 better beaches within biking distance. I doubt they'd build a marina there like LuLuKWFL said its the undeveloped beauty that attract people there...Why would they ruin that...

[ARABICHOMIE]

how consistent is surf in december/january on the pacific side of costa rica ?

[MelonCiego]

@ARABICHOMIE is usally flat because is summer time, having lack of swell. For that time of the year the best choice for surf good gnarly and manly waves is the caribbean side.

what people don't understand is that, this kind of towns keeps a valuable mystic on its people, culture and nature, something that you don't find very easy, you could find marinas and condos at any other beach in CR, or in the world, but the music and art that you see here, its unique, and it would go away if a marina gets built, I know they live well the way they are, and not precisely robbing, I can tell...

[taoconductor]

I'm so glad it didn't happen. I love it the way it is. Just came back from my first visit. I didn't want to leave. PURA VIDA!

[ale11cq]

No hay que dejar que esto pase, ¿Qué pasará con el surf, la playa y lo que aun queda del arrefice?¡Aún hay vida en esas aguas!, díganme, ¿En que puede ayudar la destrucción del medio ambiente?

[ale11cq]

Uno de los grandes promotores de esta marina es Leonardo Patterson y de feria es el protegido de Fernando Berrocal

[bryanraubenolt]

Si esto se permite que pase, va a ser uno de las peores decisiones que ha hecho el gobierno Costaricense. La naturaleza, cultura local, la falta de industralizacion moderna es lo que hace a este lugar tan unico. El Pacifico ya esta arruinado en este sentido, con resorts por cada izquierda y derecha, no dejemos que esto pase! ya esta fijo en papel la decision?

[mcongosto]

No hagan nada es puerto viejo!!! para que cada vez que vaya, cada 2 o 3 años, esté igualito que la ultima vez: con sus negritos descalzos y barrigones, tan bonitos ellos, los rastas vendiendo marihuana, barata y de la buena, etc etc etc.... no me cambien mi puerto viejo del alma yo quiero que siga siga siendo igual para siempre!

[alixrider]

....you don' t know shit.... a marina would be helpfull to the economy...... peolple could work instead of robbing tourists houses and selling drugs.

believe me......i live here....!

[elislado]

You live here?

I read Brooklyn, New York, USA on your YouTube sheet.

Let local people decide what they want for their future.

Saludos

@elislado

I live here too and believe it would be helpful. no one goes to playa negra much anyway. there would still be miles of pristine untouched coastline and local flavor

[shellius]

@jeffj5151 I was just there last month. The best thing about Costa Rica beaches in this area is that they are undeveloped and remain as they were hundreds of years ago. No one wants to travel that far to see a bunch of development. We can see that in Florida!

Overdevelopment will kill tourism to Costa Rica.

So how did this turn out? I didn't see anything like a developed marina while I was there.

[elislado]

@alixrider

You can come, there is nothing yet.

[MelonCiego]

@alixrider you don't know shit, a marina would be devastating for the place, only helping to kill the scenic beauty, the fucking boats polluting the water with oil, killing the natural reef and also increasing the drug selling, because the fuckers with money to buy yachts and having a place at the "marina" are the cocaine and prostitute addicts. Go fuck yourself and stay in your concrete jungle.

[gordillo74]

Pto Viejo- Cahuita-Manzanillo. Lets keep it that way it is. I have good memories from LIMON Providence, it is a unique place no other area like this one. Peace

[LuLuKWFL]

The "Attraction" to Puerto Viejo is its "Undeveloped Natural Beauty". That is "Why" people have been spending dollars flocking to it over the years. Trust me, I live in Florida-where there is NO MORE NATURAL BEAUTY LEFT! There is no attraction to come here like there was in the 1950s. Now all we have is marinas, and condos, (which are not selling)! Please do not change your beautiful city. It is rare, irreplaceable, and priceless, I LOVE IT just the way it is.

[ohanit]

Finally, the people of Puerto Viejo defeated the corrupted locals and Americans and for the time being no marina is going to be constructed.

[Humvy1]

i was down there this fall..no marina was being built.

NO MARINA IN PUERTO VIEJO!

[cartrelllov]

Marina No..esa es ;la voz del Memo en el Bar Maritza, yo tocando las congas.

[cartrelllov]

Les dieja varios moradores que se opongan a la marina, eso traera delicneuncis y la perdida dela tranquilidad de este pueblo..esa es la voz del Memo y yo en la conga..
