    Costa Rica here and, while we don’t exactly have an “abode of the madmen” like Florida, we do have our particular spots on the map:

    • San Carlos on the north is a rural place, and so it has become our Alabama / Monterrey
    • Desamparados, Pavas and La Carpio are the epicenters of crime
    • Puntarenas (on the Pacific) and Limón (on the Atlantic) are the main ports of the country. Both of them are attacked severely by poverty and drug lords. Limón has the particularity of being the place where most African-Americans in the country come from, via Jamaica back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.
