Related Links November Special: Recommend us on facebook and get a free coctail on your next stay Return to article index The Costa Rica Government Needs to Take More Responsibility Each day from December to May many Josefinos (San Jose residents) routinely fill buckets with water in the early morning preparing for Aquaductos (the water company) to cut off the water from 7 am to 6 pm. There is enough annual rainfall, but their reservoirs are inadequate to carry them through the six month dry season and there are many broken water mains that take sometimes weeks to locate and fix. The answer for homeowners is to install a holding tank that fills overnight, but many Ticos haven't the means or space. Gringos who live in San Jose generally learn to cope and adapt just like the Ticos. The creeks and rivers in San Jose, particularly towards the west end smell and look polluted, hedged in by tin and wooden plank shacks erected by squatters. Most of San Jose's sewage is not treated, though building permits now require the problem to be addressed. The Central Valley rivers make their way through a break in the mountains down to the Pacific mainly via the Rio Tarcoles. Costa Rica tours going to popular Jaco Beach pass over this river. At any one time they can stand on the bridge and see ten to twenty large crocodiles basking in the sun or lazily submerged facing upstream in the polluted river awaiting an unsuspecting fish. On tours to the picturesque and pristine canals of Tortuguero on the northern Caribbean coast known for its wildlife sightings, you can never see as many crocodiles. These prehistoric relics must be highly adaptable and unbothered by sewage.

National Parks Geography of Costa Rica T he country is divided by a backbone of volcanoes and mountains, an extension of the Andes-Sierra Madre chain which runs along the western side of the Americas. Costa Rica has four distinct cordilleras or mountain ranges Guanacaste and Tilaran in the north, Central and Talamanca in the south. Costa Rica is part of the Pacific "Rim of Fire" and has seven of the isthmus's 42 active volcanoes plus dozens of dormant or extinct cones. Earth tremors and small quakes shake the country from time to time. The last major quake hit on April 22, 1991. Centered on the Caribbean side southeast of San Jose, it measured 7.4 on the Richter scale. The country's highest point is Mt. Chirripo (3,797 meters). The capital, San Jose, and the neighboring major cities of Alajuela and Heredie lies in the middle of the Meseta Central (Central Valley). Almost two-thirds of the nation's population live in this small, fertile valley. The Pacific coastal plain is much narrower than its Caribbean counterpart. Both coasts are lined with white and black sand beaches.

I am not a political science major nor an economist and I would rather stand corrected than uneducated, so if anyone disagrees, please share your opinion! From the outside, a lot of Costa Rica government projects appear to have productive goals: lower unemployment, promote national production and domestic consumption, attract foreign investment and so on. However, the reality of recent proposed or instated policies has been to let the consumers foot the bill, deny workers rights and overlook the environmental impact of their decisions in favor of quick income for the country, and themselves.

Under the 1949 constitution, all citizens are guaranteed equality before the law, the right to own property, the right of petition and assembly, freedom of speech and the right of habeas corpus. The constitution also divides the government into independent executive, legislative and judicial branches. The executive branch is composed of the president, two vice presidents and a cabinet. The legislature is the National Assembly, composed of 57 members. Costa Rica has a very strong system of constitutional checks and balances. Executive responsibilities are vested in a president, who is the country's center of power. There also are two vice presidents and a 15-member cabinet. The president and 57 Legislative Assembly deputies are elected for 4-year terms. In April 2003, the Costa Rican Constitutional Court annulled a 1969 constitutional reform which had barred presidents from running for reelection. As a result, the law reverted back to the 1949 Constitution, which permits ex-presidents to run for reelection after they have been out of office for two presidential terms, or eight years. Deputies may run for reelection after sitting out one term, or four years. In October 2007, the country ratified the U.S.-Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) by a slender margin in its first national referendum.
