La Postita has the necessary items you would expect in your own home (e.g. potable water, hot water, complete kitchen with stove and refrigerator, pots and pans, dishes and silverware for four persons). The cabin has a queen-size bed and double-bunk bed with all the linen, towels, and furniture throughout. La Postita is also handicap-friendly.

There will always be fresh fruit (bananas, papaya, lemons, etc.) available locally or from the trees on the property.

La Postita uses environmentally friendly, renewable, clean and sustainable Solar Energy. When you are our guest you are helping to protect the environment by minimizing your carbon footprint and becoming part of the solution to help minimize global warming, acid rain and smog and decrease greenhouse effect. 

When necessary, electricity is provided via a hybrid motor/generator-battery power supply located away from the cabin. The batteries will be used during the night-time and early morning for quiet. A few hours during the day the diesel motor-generator will be turned on to re-charge the batteries. Hot water is provided through an on-demand gas heater for washing dishes or taking a hot shower. The propane gas stove has standard burners and oven for cooking.

SECURITY:A night-guard will watch over the property and to take care of the generator and provide assistance as needed. During the day, the general foreman (capitaz), Antonio, has been with us at La Postita for the last ten years. He will be available during the day to take care of your needs and to help make your stay pleasant. Antonio is very reliable and helpful; he is a former chef of a large hotel-just in case you need help in the kitchen. Note: Photo below shows cabin secured with collapsible heavy duty wood shutters.

ACCESSIBILITY: La Postita is not only a safe-haven for our guests but also  an eco-sensitive, safe, and cost effective base of operations to study and enjoy the environment and diverse ecology of the region--it is also handicap friendly: providing a ramp for wheelchair access to the cabin, with wide doors, grab bars in strategic locations, and our grounds offer wide trails with grades easily negotiable for anyone..whether walking side by side, jogging, or enjoying the environs of the rolling landscape by wheelchair.

After a long days adventure, enjoy a hot shower, sit down and relax on the deck, a cold beer in hand. The view is a blend of coffee plantations and country roads meandering to the valley below. Listen to the whispers of the evening breeze and distant muffled roar of the wild Reventazón River. The sun eclipses the hills of the Turrialba Mountains -- their shadows enhance the peacefulness of the moment -- the laughter and conversation of your friends, faces bathed in the golden glow of sunset, lift their glasses and pay tribute to a wonderful days end.
