## Description

At the mouth of the Río Colorado, where rainforest meets the Caribbean and no road reaches, sits the village of Barra del Colorado — accessible only by boat or light plane. Its STOL airstrip (BCL) in Pococí serves anglers chasing tarpon and snook plus a handful of residents, flown in on charters and feeders. Cargo here amounts to accompanied baggage and small parcels; there is no freight operation. Anything heavier travels by water or through the national hub at San José (SJO).
