Important Information for Visitors

Welcome to Santa Teresa, a unique surf town surrounded by jungle. This is not a city but a special place with its own quirks.

Power and Water

• Occasional power outages occur. When the electricity is off, water (which is pumped), WiFi, and hot showers (electric) will be unavailable.
• Outages typically last between 10 minutes and 2 hours but may be longer during storms.
• Suggested: light a candle, take a walk, and relax during outages.

Air Conditioning

• Please turn off the air conditioning when you are not home to conserve power.
• Excessive use can cause overheating and power cuts.

Security

• Always lock all doors and windows when leaving.
• Use the safe for valuables if available.

Cooking and Utilities

• Cooking uses propane tanks, as Costa Rica has no gas pipelines.
• Tanks last a long time but can run out unexpectedly; spares are provided, and assistance is available for replacement.
• Hot water is electric, not gas-powered.

Food and Insects

• Leaving food out attracts ants. Store all food inside the fridge or sealed containers.
• Ants do not appear immediately but will come if food is left exposed.

Toilets

• Do not flush toilet paper due to the lack of a drainage system.
• Use the bin provided next to the toilet for disposal.

Wildlife

• Expect to encounter local wildlife such as ants, geckos, lizards, spiders, mosquitoes, roaches, mice, bats, snakes, and occasionally a non-dangerous scorpion.
• Remember, these creatures are native residents; humans are the visitors.

Final Note

You are in a remarkable place—raw, authentic, and unforgettable. Embrace the experience with kindness and openness, and enjoy your time in the jungle. Pura Vida!
