A specific contribution was a historical and locational reconstruction of the routes to the north, in response to the said interests. Sources utilized included printed works, documents, maps and newspapers. Costa Rica’s position on the Central American Isthmus, facilitated its participation in world commerce, but its growth made it necessary to explore new routes through the Sarapiquí and San Carlos rivers, to the port of San Juan Norte on the Caribbean. These routes enabled the country to maintain its sovereignty during the Guerra Nacional, by controlling the San Juan river and Lake Nicaragua, crucial to the defeat of the filibusters occupying Nicaragua, and valuable while negotiating the boundary treaty with Nicaragua. Finally, these roads were fundamental to the colonization of the northern region decades later. El objetivo es analizar como nuevas rutas hacia la región norte de Costa Rica reflejaron intereses políticos y económicos del país y del istmo centroamericano a mediados del siglo XIX. La contribución del artículo reside en reconstruir sistemáticamente la historia y la ubicación de rutas al norte, en función de cómo dieron respuesta a dichos intereses. Se recurrió a fuentes impresas, documentos, mapas y periódicos. La posición de Costa Rica en el istmo centroamericano facilitó su participación en el comercio mundial, pero su crecimiento hizo necesario explorar nuevas rutas por los ríos Sarapiquí y San Carlos para comunicar el Valle Central con el puerto de San Juan Norte en el Caribe. Estas rutas al norte, fueron indispensables para mantener la soberanía del país durante la Guerra Nacional, el control del San Juan, la derrota a los filibusteros y la negociación del tratado fronterizo con Nicaragua. Finalmente, se sentaron las bases para la posterior colonización de la región norte.
