This video was filmed on the afternoon of October 17, 2022 in Playa Jaco, Costa Rica. During filming we got caught in a vaguada, an extreme tropical storm in which there is a very high amount of rain in a short period. This caused flash flooding throughout many parts of Jaco, including the very streets that were filmed in our video. We were very fortunate to be able to avoid intense flash flooding that swept away cars, damaged homes and covered much of the town in mud.
Many residents of Jaco were seriously affected by flooding. Please consider donating to help affected families at the links provided above !

Great video. Good job. I saw Cortés got hit bad, but I didn’t know Jaco got that flooded.
Thank you ! Pura vida ✌️
Wow
Glad you guys are ok, thanks for posting, stay safe, glad you made it safe.
Thank you ! Pura vida ✌️
I was at hotel tangeri with my girl friend on October 20th. We Watchied the brook next to hotel turn into a raging river. Next morning about 2ft of beach had been carved out and washed out. I counted 4 refrigerators on beach. This said people living near brook upstream had serious damage and losses. When we left next day. We drove right passed the Alcalde of Garrabito giving an interview tp a TV reporter in center by megasuper. .
That river caused the flooding shown in the video this time around as well 😢
my group of 10 is coming to jaco to visit next week, i hope everything will get better by then and ill donate!
Thanks for your comment ! There has been a lot of clean up in town and it is getting back to normal but there remains a lot of need for those that had their homes damaged or destroyed.
Wow that’s a lot of rain. I was there back in 2007 and experienced some flooding in my car behind mega super going into Haina condos.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Hopefully the municipality can find a solution to help reduce the frequency and intensity of flooding in this area.
Qué video tan entretenido, lo disfruté bastante, de principio a fin, mejor que ver una película, sentía que iba a la par suya😂
gracias por ver y por tu comentario! Pura vida ✌️
Hope you can give us an update, basically talking about damage around town. My dad sent me forwarded videos of his place at Monte Carlo... the water was everywhere. we're super worried about damage!
Best to contact the administration of your building. The flood was a while ago and everything is back to normal. They were taking out a lot of muck from that property in the week following the flood but I can't see anything unusual since.
The worst damage was to the houses across the street past the IPAI language school as well as the street from there that leads to the park.
I failed to mention the areas around the rivers towards the highway, which also had significant damage. I don't really get out in that area much and it's well out of the downtown and areas most visitors frequent but that's the area where people lost homes or had even more significant damage.
Firstly Glad you are okay.
Wishing the best for everyone out there.
I was planning on going to Jaco Costa Rica and was wondering what Months is Summer Season ?
Thanks for your comments! The weather service said that this year summer /dry season will start sometime December 1-15th in the Central pacific, and January 1st in the southern Pacific areas. It varies a bit based on location and I'm not completely sure for all areas but December through to Easter is typical of the.summer in Jaco area
I'm going there in two weeks is the weather still like this
No that was a very significant tropical storm. It is currently still rainy season which does include some risk of flooding, problems with roads etc but it hasn't been anywhere as bad as the dates on the video
Can you tell me if water got into costa linda condominiums. Or how that area handled the rains ? Gracias
Sorry I'm not sure. I haven't made it to that part of town since the storm, but if anyone knows and can comment here it would be helpful
Did they skimp on the gulleys when building the road?
There is no sewer system, and the aquaduct system definitely needs improvement but the main issue is the very huge amount of rain in a few hours. There was over 100l of rain per m3 in a 4 hour period. This caused overflowing riverbanks which led to huge waves of water spilling into town. Not sure how they can fix this but hopefully there is some improvements they can make to help with this growing problem.
Dios mío que lluvia.
he visto muchas tormentas, pero esto era algo diferente 😳
Wow i was just there in august 😢
I bet you are glad you missed the October /November rains 🙂
@@JacoLive i came back in September and it was raining almost every night already
Is the drive from the airport safe?
There are fairly long delays travelling within the country at the moment due to landslides and other rain related infrastructure problems.
Dang. Just booked flights for jaco for February. Hope things get back to normal. Any chance that will happen by then?
February is well into the dry / high season so you won't have any issues with rain.
feburary is a wonderful warm time to go, youll have fun
Well it's almost February up here where I live and I just finished shoveling snow off my car and driveway, so, yes, Jaco sounds like it'd be a good place to be. Have fun.
You walked right by my house and business. This sucks
I hope your places didn't flood 😢
@@JacoLive both! Thank you for asking! It means a lot.
Watch for the crocodiles!
Thanks! No kidding... There are some crocs in the mouth of the river that overflowed (but only much closer to the ocean thankfully). Pura vida ✌️
