These barrios are stretched along the 'little golf', which lies East of the Golfo Dulce. The barios from Alamedas to Bella Vista were built and used by the UFC and their employees. For a number of reasons, UFC pulled out of the area in 1985 and left certain buildings to the University of Costa Rica. There are two kinds. Along this same strip and running even more frequently are the red taxis.
All taxis are colectivos, which means that they pick up people until full.
Taxis can also be requested for longer trips, ask around for the best price. In San Jose, the Tracopa station is in one of the worst parts of downtown. You can also take Tracopa busses going to the Frontera and change at Rio Claro. Either of these trips will cost you about 1,200 Colones. There are two air services to San Jose from Golfito.
