'La apuesta' (The Bet) is a 1968 Costa Rican film directed by Miguel Salaguero. It was one of only three fictional films made in Costa Rica between 1955 and 1970.Maria M. Delgado, Stephen M. Hart, Randal Johnson 'A Companion to Latin American Cinema' 1118552881 2017 p.326 "Although the film enjoyed much success nationally, Costa Rica was made to wait 25 years for its next homegrown production, and between 1955 and 1970 only three works of fictional film were released Elvira (Carlos Alfaro MacAdam, 1955), Milagro de amor/Miracle of Love (Jos Gamboa, 1955), and La apuesta/The Bet (Miguel Salaguero, 1968)." The film was shot in 16mm and follows the dramatized story of a group of people who set out in Toyota Land Cruisers on what was then a long journey from San Jos, Costa Rica, to Limn on the east coast. The film was shot before the construction of Route 32, so the travelers pass along the old southern route through Turrialba, the railway line and the now abandoned via Carrillo.
