| الوصف: | This article analyzes Costa Rica’s railroad building project at the end of the XIX century as a means to dominate nature. To that end, a number of speeches, practices, and experiences are interwoven to reveal that the concepts, construction, and consolidation of the rail line that would connect San José, the country’s capital, with Limón, its main import and export seaside port, constituted an initiative intended to capture the Caribbean coast’s natural resources. Technicalreports, presidential speeches, photographs of the works in progress, and chronicles of excursions are all utilized to highlight the ideological efforts made in order to tame a hostile wilderness and transform it into one that could be exploited, traversed, enjoyed, and administered. |
