Bosque del Alba ("Forest of Dawn") was a tropical rainforest on Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast. It was north of Playa del Alba, east of Puerto del Alba, and northeast of Puerto Limón.
History[]
Peace Walker Incident[]
- Main article: Peace Walker Incident
In November 1974, the Militaires Sans Frontières arrived in Costa Rica to investigate the activities of Peace Sentinel, a CIA mercenary group. After destroying a gate between Playa del Alba and Bosque del Alba, MSF commander Big Boss traveled through the forest, evading several CIA mercenaries along the way. Later on, Big Boss returned to Bosque del Alba to apprehend KGB agent Vladimir Zadornov, who had escaped from MSF custody for a second time, despite Zadornov's prosthetic being confiscated, being subject to a body check, and increasing personnel stationed at his prison. This action caused Big Boss to suspect that someone let him out, though the MSF deputy commander Kazuhira Miller denied this possibility.[1] Zadornov was later baffled when Big Boss managed to successfully retrieve him, expressing disbelief as Big Boss reported in that he retrieved him.[2]

Kazuhira Miller: Bad news, Snake. Zadornov's on the loose. // Naked Snake (Big Boss): What, again?! // Miller: It's funny. We took away his prosthetic and did a full body check. We even increased the guard. // Snake: Think he had help? // Miller: Impossible. Anyway, I'm adding a new mission. Locate and recover Zadornov! - ^ Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Kojima Productions (2010)
