Telephone and e-mail
No
wires lead to this village, even cell phones are out of range. Bahia depends strictly on satellite
communications.We
have one phone casetta. You go there to make a call
and the lady there makes the call for you. All you have to do is to talk
and to pay. (Keep it short.) There is a phone at Guillermos Restaurant and one at Camp Gecko. If you like to send an e-mail, you find three Internet places; one is in the phone casetta between the Las Hamacas
restaurant and the liquor store.

First
Aid Station & Doctors
Near the Police Station is
a small hospital and you might find a Doctor in attendence. If not, Dr.
Abraham is the owner of Camp Gecko. 5 km to the South of the village. The
road is terrible, I personally recommend it as a cure if you have kidney
stones.
