Cuban migrants hold their plastic cups to receive coffee at a shelter in La Cruz 
Cuban migrants hold their plastic cups to receive coffee at a shelter in La Cruz, Costa Rica, November 25, 2015. Thousands of Cubans remain stuck on the Costa Rican side of the border with Nicaragua after Managua refused at a regional summit on Tuesday to open its doors to a wave of migrants heading for the United States. Fearing the recent rapprochement between Havana and Washington could end preferential U.S. policies for Cuban migrants, thousands of people from the Communist-ruled island have been crossing into South America and traveling through Central America hoping to reach U.S. soil.

Jose Maria Villalta, presidential candidate for the leftist Broad Front Party, poses for the media while casting his vote during the presidential elections in San Jose February 2, 2014. Costa Rica's centrist ruling party front-runner, former San Jose Mayor Johnny Araya, hoped to fend off a leftist surge fueled by voter resentment over government corruption scandals and rising inequality as voters in Central America's second-largest economy headed to the polls on Sunday. But voter anger over government corruption has buoyed a challenge from leftist lawmaker Villalta, who has also promised to tackle inequality in the coffee-producing nation.

Costa Rica says it likely lost 34,500 60-kg bags of coffee, reducing an earlier forecast by 2 percent to 1.55 million bags for the season that began this month. The losses are mainly due to hard rain knocking ripe coffee cherries off trees, the national coffee institute ICAFE said. Plant fungus caused by excess moisture is spreading, but officials said it was too soon to tell what effect it would have on Costa Rica's crop. Picture taken October 26, 2011.
