It is amazing to find these pictures. My husband, Patrick, grew up here, his father Percy McDermott (Mr. Mac) was the boss at this plant. We went to Quepos two years ago, and got to see his house up on the hill. I am sure these pictures are going to bring him many memories...thank you!!

Thanks for posting these pictures! I lived in Parrita and attended 2nd and 3rd grades in Quepos. My little sister was born in that hospital (1952). It's sad to see such a beautiful place looking so abandoned, but I guess life moves on and nothing remains the same.
