(CR!S) Costa Rica sex workers at the Panama border are complaining that the Cubanas (Cuban migrants) are stealing business way from them, “with their wider hips and for being foreign”, driving mad the truckers, the major source of business for the prostitutes at Paso Canoas.<\/p>\n

The situation has caused havoc among Costa Rica sex workers, who are calling for government action to protect their business.<\/p>\n

In a report by the Diario Extra<\/a>, the ‘Las Caribe\u00f1as’ (Cubans), in shelters on the Panama side of the border, manage to cross the border into the country, this after Costa Rica immigration on December 18, 2015 closed the border to Cuban migrants.<\/p>\n

Unconfirmed reports say last week there was a physical confrontation between a Tica (Costa Rican), whose husband left her for a Cubana, who offered a “better price for her sexual favours”.<\/p>\n

“Ana”, who told the Diario Extra typically has sex with four customers a day, is lucky now to net two.<\/p>\n

“As soon as they arrived at the border they caused problems, ravaging all that offers them good money, in fact they are cheaper than us. The men prefer them for their wide hips and for being foreign, truckers go mad for them, we have had a big drop in intimate encounters,” Ana, who has been working as a prostitute for the last five years, told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

“They are bankrupting us, but we are fighting back. We are offering a half hour for \u00a215.000 colones (US$28) and an hour for \u00a225.000, the man pays the for the room. We know they (Cubans) are in transit and hope that soon they will continue their way north,” said Ana.<\/p>\n

Sex work in Costa Rica is legal as long as it does not involve minors.<\/p>\n
