Travelers on Costa Rica's Caldera Highway to Jaco Get Break on Tolls

Autopistas del Sol, the company that built and operates Costa Rica's Caldera Highway to the Central Pacific, announced that it will lower tolls starting Friday, Aug. 27.

Fees at all four toll booths will drop by an average of ₡ 27.5 (5 U.S. cents). Cars traveling the entire highway to Jaco will pay a total of ₡ 110 ($0.22) less.

The new tariffs for four-wheel automobiles will be ₡ 290 ($0.57) at the Escazu Plaza, ₡ 430 ($0.85) at the San Rafael toll station, ₡ 570 ($1.13) at the Atenas stop and ₡ 430 ( $ 0.85) in Pozon.

Autopistas del Sol credited the fee drop to the falling price of the U.S. dollar versus the Costa Rican colón, which recently was valued at ₡ 506 to the dollar.

Toll booth fees are revised quarterly to account for Costa Rica's colón's performance against the dollar.
