We call this the fist level access with semi-improved secondary roads. Originally used by loggers and miners, these roads usually follow the ridges going up to various farms and valleys. We begin to see views of the magnificent Golfo Dulce or the Pacific Ocean depending on which side of the peninsula you are. Some of the farmers still live off the land grazing cattle and walk or ride a horse to the nearest village for supplies. The landscape is broken hills with some flat areas, and are a combination of hilly pasture with secondary and primary forest.
Roads are still reasonable to maintain but require more maintenance than the flat lands.
Nearby rivers supply gravel so material for road improvements is not a problem. Machinery for oadwork is available locally. The government has begun to improve some of these roads and vehicle access is slowly getting better. These lands are the best value and most reasonable to develop and live. Farm sizes are anywhere from 10 acres to 200 acres with the average size being around 50 acres.
