Ground has broken on the airport in Pilon. This airport has been on the books for twenty years. Like telephones and internet, suddenly work is starting. Ground is moving and the airstrip is going in.
Direct flights from San Jose to Pilon will make it easier for residents and tourists to come to Cuervito, Pilon, Pavones and Punta Banco. Flying in and out for medical emergencies and business in San Jose will get a lot less stressful.
The area will open up to a larger audience of visitors that want to eliminate the hour-plus long ground transfer from Golfito to our area.
We look forward to reporting on the continued progress. This airport might even be finished before the planned international airport in Palmar Norte.
I have a friend who is very upset about this... and I understand. And then I think back and remember that he's never even done one of the hundreds of 9-10 hour bus trips from San Jose to my little farm above La Virgen (Circa Pilon) like I have. And now it's a hop, skip, and a jump to get to Pavones... ooh interesting. Well, that just means I'll be coming home that much easier. -Lincoln
