The houses in the Barrio have regular plumbing with running water. No heater though, except for the Sun heating the tinaco .

I know people and have read of others, gringos, with homes in the campo that have been robbed at gunpoint despite security measures.

Leaving your doors open, especially as a gringo, is a sure way to get robbed and possibly killed IMO.

Even if you have nothing to take people will assume that you do and will try and get it.

If youre gonna buy a house in the campo its best to start getting used to a simple life.
