Other things to note IMPORTANT INFO FOR NEW VISITORS IN THE AREA! 🌴 Welcome to Planet Santa Teresa You’ve arrived in a wild little surf town in the jungle. This isn’t a city — it’s something better. But it comes with a few quirks. Here’s what you need to know: ⚡ Power & Water Power outages happen from time to time. No electricity = no water (it’s pumped), no WiFi, and no hot showers (they’re electric). It usually comes back in 10 minutes to 2 hours. During storms, it can take longer. Light a candle, go for a walk, and relax. ❄️ A/C Please turn off the A/C when you’re not home. Power here is precious. Overuse leads to overheating and power cuts. 🔒 Lock Up Always lock all doors and windows when you leave. If there’s a safe, we recommend using it for valuables. 🔥 Cooking with Gas Costa Rica has no gas pipelines — only propane tanks. They last a long time but can run out without warning. Don’t worry! We have spares and will help you switch them. 💡 Hot water runs on electricity, not gas. 🐜 Ants & Food Leaving food out = ants party on your snacks. Store everything inside the fridge or sealed containers. (No rush — they don’t show up instantly 😄) 🚽 Toilets Don’t flush toilet paper 🚫 There’s no drainage system in town. Use the bin next to the toilet. 🦎 Insects & Animals You might meet ants, geckos, lizards, spiders, mosquitoes, roaches, mice, bats, snakes, and maybe even a scorpion (not dangerous). They live here — we’re just visitors 🐾 🌺 Final Reminder You’re in a special place — raw, real, unforgettable. Be kind, stay open, and enjoy the jungle ride. Pura vida!
