Evacuated residents were heading home Wednesday to clean up mud and debris left by flood waters. In hard-hit Sixaola, many residents remained in shelters as flood waters of as much as 2 meters hadn’t completely receded. Hundreds of evacuees went to the community hall in Cahuita.
Sixaola is on the border with Panama, just over an hour from Puerto Viejo (view on map).
