DRINKING WATER
Water in the shared kitchens is filtered using a EcoFilter that you must refill each day. Water from these filtered sources is safe to drink. Water in the bathrooms is not filtered.
HOT WATER
Is included. We use a vacuum tube solar hot water system. Depending on sunshine and length of showers it can provide six nice hot showers per day. It also stores heat for up to three days of cloud.
WATER SERVICE AND CONSERVATION
Water service to the house is provided by the municipality. There are times during the year when water supplies run low. Why? Because the community sources water from the mountain, not the lake. Natural hydrologic cycles effect this source, it is not something that we can control. When water runs low, please help conserve. What does this look like? Consider things like no extra flushes, washing with a wash cloth rather than taking a shower, not letting the water run when brushing your teeth or washing dishes.
ELECTRICITY
The power may go out during your stay and at times these outages are for an extended period. This is typical in Guatemala. We recommend keeping electronic devices charged and having an alternative lighting source available.
SECURITY
Security Cameras are in use at all residence garden areas. These cameras are used solely to deter opportunistic thefts and problems and we check these cameras only in the case of an incident. We recommend hiding electronics and any valuables as you would while traveling anywhere. Do not leave valuables unattended or easily accessible during your stay.
POLICE
For emergencies you can reach the police on WhatsApp: +502 4503 7073.

There is no ambulance in San Marcos. The nearest one is based in San Pedro. There is sometimes a first aid kit in the top bathroom. There is a pharmacy with basic supplies on the street behind the church, he can also apply bandages.
SPIDERS AND SCORPIONS
Are common here and will not kill you. The big spiders on the walls eat only smaller insects and do not bite at all. Scorpions tend to wander and will sting you if you touch them. Guatemalan scorpion stings are like a bee sting and tend to hurt for about an hour.
FIREWORKS
The church will sometimes light off fireworks at all hours of the day and night. Nobody knows why.
NOT FEELING WELL?
Water borne and food borne illnesses, including bacterial infections, are common throughout Guatemala and may or may not affect you immediately during your stay. Always drink well filtered water. Food should not be eaten raw unless it is peeled or has been soaked in a vegetable water cleaning solution, sold in stores locally.
HEALTH CLINICS
The Posta health clinic in San Pablo is open 24 hours a day and has a doctor. In Solola and San Pedro they have X Ray machines but poor service. The best hospitals are in Xela or Guatemala City. To call and ambulance from Xela call: +502 4064 5428

The first time I came to the property that now holds the space for these puppies, it was because another three puppies where just been born, under very hard circumstances. I couldn't turn my back, I went into the property, and I put it them in a safe place. Now they are big, adopted and gave the space for the next round: 5 puppies who will be given in adoption. The goal is to make them get used to dog food, I can see the mama already tired of breastfeeding
