I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:

MOST DANGEROUS AREAS in Costa Rica


Bus stops, hospital surroundings 
MOST DANGEROUS PLACES IN COSTA RICA

SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA – September 30th, 2012

The “Coca Cola” bus stop
as well as the surroundings of
San Juan de Dios Hospital
Calderon Guardia Hospital
Hospital Mexico, and the 
Central Market
and its surrounding areas are the favorite places for criminals to commit their crimes in San Jose.

This comes according to the “heat maps” of criminal activity that Seguridad Pública had on display last week, which also showed that the 
hours from 4pm to 6pm are
primetime for criminals preying on citizens.

The capital city remains the most crime-ridden area of the country.

According to Walter Navarro, Vice Minister of Security, criminals prefer these areas because they are congested, especially during the evening rush hours.

Navarro also mentioned that places such as Pavas, Desamparados, Hatillos, and Montes de Oca continue to be plagued by criminals.

Both the Fuerza Publica and the Municipal Police pay special attention to these areas, but advise citizens to always be alert, especially in the areas identified.
