I took the pasajera from the airport to La Barra a few days ago as well as before the rain. Yes, it was good before and no it is not so good anymore. The pasajera driver knew the road like the back of his hand and move at a pretty slow speed picking his way around the potholes and washboards sections. You don't need a 4 x 4 but you do need to take it easy and the driver should be busy focusing on the road not on the scenery.

And, yes, some of us remember in our younger days when many of the "country" roads in the U.S.A (MO for me) were unpaved and got a cursory grading twice a year and you learned to drive slow and past attention to the road.

Even though I know better I tried the beach road after I read your post of good road. From past experience I realize that can only happen maybe the day of the road work. For most of us who drive here we do understand and recognize the road situations. Maybe, I should have posted after I drove it but was busy with other stuff and did not. One day it will be better.

A while back I posted how great this road was since it was grated. Apparently the road is terrible again. I guess the last rain storm buggered it up completely. Unless you have a 4 X 4, take the Los Achotes route.
