[edit]There are two comedors in town, one on each side of the old airstrip. Don't expect anything of a food nature but beans and eggs unless you bring it yourself, and you will not be disappointed.
Drink
[edit]Thanks to solar energy, there are cold beers at the comedors and at some tiendas in town.
Sleep
[edit]The comedor nearest the Cooperativa has two basic dorm rooms with four double beds each right behind it.
Make sure that a comfortable bed is available before paying. Make sure you know exactly where the outhouse is before dark.
